LAS VEGAS – This past weekend, Central Christian Church held the largest baptism celebration in its church’s history as more than 1,200 grandparents, children, soccer moms, models, entrepreneurs and more were baptized at the church’s four campuses during its weekend services. Church staff had expected around 500 to attend, and were blown away by the response.
“Nothing in the past 15 years of ministry prepared me for what I witnessed this weekend,” said Jud Wilhite, senior pastor at Central Christian Church. “People just kept coming and coming, tears flowing down their faces, gratitude in their hearts.”
In 2009 alone, Central has witnessed more than 2,500 people accept Christ as their Savior as many look to the church for guidance during turbulent times. With three valley campuses and a newly launched online campus, the church has more than 15,000 attendees worldwide.
