Kentucky celebrates significant increase in baptisms, highest total since 2016

Kentucky Baptists are celebrating a surge in baptisms with 12,654 reported during the past reporting year (ending March 15). It’s a significant increase over the past year and the highest year in almost a decade.

“We are praising God for each of the 12,654 baptisms recorded by Kentucky Baptist churches last year,” said Todd Gray, Kentucky Baptist Convention executive director.

The baptism total — the highest since 2016 — encourages Kentucky Baptists as they consider how many have moved from death unto life by trusting in Jesus Christ as Savior.

“Every baptism is a celebration of one more life changed by Jesus,” said Rob Patterson, KBC Evangelism team leader. “Seeing lives changed by the power of the gospel is what motivates Kentucky Baptists to cooperate so that as many as possible may hear the good news locally and globally.”
