Florida-based church The Church of Eleven22 recently had over 2,500 people baptized last weekend, adding to the large number of baptisms the church has had in recent years.

“Still not over yesterday!” the church, located in Jacksonville, stated on Facebook.

“2,552 times we heard someone renounce the sins of their past, pledge allegiance to Christ, and proclaim out loud for the whole world to hear that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior! There is truly nothing better than that!”

As CBN News previously reported, nearly 2,000 were baptized at the church's Beach Baptism last year, while over 1,600 were baptized in 2024.

"The church is alive and well, the Spirit of God is on the move, and the gospel of Jesus Christ is still changing lives today,” Pastor Joby Martin said.

In a separate social media post, the church stressed the importance that baptism has for those who profess faith in Jesus Christ.

“One by one, people walked into the water declaring that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior - that the old is gone and new life has come! Because baptism isn't what saves us, it's the outward sign of an inward spiritual reality. A symbol that we've been united with Jesus in His death and raised to walk in new life," the church stated.

One significant moment that took place during last weekend’s baptism was when one of the shuttle bus drivers got baptized and was the very last one.

“Only God could write a story like that," the church said.

As reported by CBN News, The Church of Eleven22 saw more than 14,000 churchgoers, family members, and supporters in attendance at Hanna Park last weekend to support and rejoice for those making a public confession of their faith in the Lord.
