Park’s Summer Baptism

One of the highlights of the year at Park is our summer baptism.

Early on a Sunday morning in July hundreds of people gather at North Avenue Beach to witness people going public with their faith in Christ by being baptized in Lake Michigan.

It’s definitely a moving sight to see with the city skyline as a dramatic background and reminder of why we are here and the people we are called to reach.

Here’s our highlight video, courtesy of Jason Widney and some of our volunteer photographers.
