2025 Recap and looking ahead to 2026!

Jesus Festival 2025 was something special.

It wasn’t just an event in Gage Park...it felt like a collision between heaven and Hamilton. The atmosphere from the moment people began arriving carried this expectancy, like God Himself had marked the day. And He did.

Worship filled the park. Families gathered. Strangers prayed together like old friends. Testimonies came in nonstop, hearts healed, lives surrendered to Jesus, addictions broken, joy restored. Over 30 people were baptized right there in the middle of the festival. The roar that came from the crowd every time someone came out of the water was unforgettable.

It was the sound of heaven rejoicing, and everyone could feel it.

We served thousands of hot dogs to the community for free, and every interaction felt like a seed planted. Our outreach teams were everywhere, loving, praying, sharing the Gospel.

You could literally watch faith rising in people’s eyes. The momentum from Jesus Festival 2024 was strong, but this year God took it to another level.

What stood out most was the unity. Churches working together. Volunteers moving as one. People from different backgrounds and cities showing up with one purpose; to lift up the name of Jesus. Psalm 133:1 came alive: “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!” The city felt it. We felt it. The Spirit of God moved through that park like a fresh wind.

And now, we look ahead. Jesus Festival 2026 is already stirring in our hearts.

If this year was any indication, we are only scratching the surface of what God wants to do in our region. We’re expecting more salvations, more baptisms, more churches partnering together, more families encountering the love of God, and even bigger steps of faith. Our outreach groups are growing, our home groups are expanding, and the hunger for Jesus in our city is increasing week by week.

We believe 2026 will be a year of even greater harvest.

So we’re preparing. We’re praying. We’re dreaming with God. And we’re inviting you to be part of it... whether through volunteering, partnering, giving, or simply showing up hungry for more of Him.

Jesus Festival isn’t just a yearly event anymore. It’s becoming a movement. A spark in Hamilton that God is using to ignite hearts across Canada.

SO Grateful for 2025...

Jesus, have Your way in 2026.
