On Sunday, November 1, we witnessed 10 individuals make a profession of faith through baptism. As each candidate entered the water, we heard stories of when they placed their trust in Jesus and what led them to this moment to be baptized. The youngest was 10 years old and the oldest was in their 70s. As their testimonies were shared, we gave thanks to God for what he has done and is doing in their lives.
- Four of these individuals were not raised in church and came to faith as adults
- One was raised in a Muslim householdÂ
- One is veterinarian student at NC State and had most of her vet class present at the baptism to cheer her on
- One is a mom of one of our youth group members who found her way back to church after her son started attending youth group
- One was raised in a Catholic home and has stepped away from that tradition into an evangelical church

We have been blessed to witness 21 baptisms at Northside in 2026. Each story of life change is unique and we’re excited to see how God will use these individuals and the work he is doing in their lives for the kingdom.
