Chesapeake Conference

Story by Evan Knott

The “Revelation Today: Hope for Humanity” evangelistic series concluded on Nov. 1 at Goucher College in Baltimore with a special evening baptism service celebrating 14 new members joining the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The baptisms are part of the year-long Reach Baltimore 2025 evangelistic initiative, with additional baptisms taking place in local churches and more scheduled before year’s end.

After a short concert and homily, attendees made their way to the Goucher College pool, where 14 people were baptized by Chesapeake and Allegheny East conference pastors. The pool area was crowded with church members from the Baltimore area who sang as candidates made their way to the pool.

With more than 170 children in attendance, Atholton held a high-tech “True North” Vacation Bible School (VBS), featuring a vibrant, immersive experience, complete with a professionally designed set, high-quality lighting, a colorful stage and a massive LED wall in the sanctuary. Each day, children were greeted by animated characters on lobby screens that brought the “True North” theme to life.
