And 300+ churches came together at Pirates Cove (one of the sites of the Jesus Movement) for the public baptism.

The event at Pirates Cove Beach, Corona Del Mar, marked the 50th anniversary of the Jesus Movement – an evangelical Christian awakening which began in California and saw hundreds of thousands of people come to Christ.

Advertised as the ‘biggest water baptism event in history’, Baptize SoCal drew thousands to Pirates Cove.

Over 280 churches and 8,000 attendees met to celebrate Pentecost and witness the baptisms of 4,166 believers in the Pacific Ocean.
