The fruit keeps growing

The stage comes down. The mission keeps moving.

Jesus Festival is a catalyst—not the finish line. Outreach, prayer, personal follow-up, and discipleship continue through the year as people love Hamilton one life at a time.

Love people

Practical generosity, prayer, Gospel conversations, and a city served freely in Jesus’ name.

Follow up faithfully

Remember every person, every prayer request, and every next step after the festival moment.

Multiply disciples

Help people move from first contact to care, discipleship, and becoming disciple-makers themselves.

The Journey

2024

The Beginning

What started as a small vision for a gathering with some churches became something far greater than anyone imagined. At the very first event, thousands came out. Food was shared freely, people were baptized, lives were surrendered to the Lord, and divine connections among churches began that have lasted ever since.

Thousands gathered. Lives transformed. Churches united.

2025

The Momentum Continues

The second year built on the foundation God laid. The momentum from the first event continued into outreach groups like Love on Hamilton, with record numbers of people hitting the streets to share the love of Jesus. More churches joined, more lives were touched, and the movement grew deeper roots.

Outreach momentum. Deeper roots. Growing unity.

2026

The Movement Expands

We believed for more — and God moved. Across Friday's Pure Worship Night and a full Saturday in Gage Park, early reports counted 70+ people giving their lives to Jesus, 50+ baptisms, more than 3,000 free hot dogs and drinks served, and many testimonies of healing and freedom.

September 4–5, 2026. Gage Park. Hamilton.

Jesus Festival 2024 Recap

Where it all began — the first Jesus Festival and the spark that started a movement.

"Then Jesus came to them and said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.'"

— Matthew 28:18–20
