Acts 29 is passionate about planting churches that make disciples of Christ. As a vibrant network of local churches, our goal in 2025 is to see 10,000 new believers collectively in Acts 29 churches. We are trusting God to move in big ways! 

Churches like Emergence Church, an Acts 29 church in New Jersey, are already celebrating remarkable developments in attendance and baptisms, becoming a vibrant hub for faith and fellowship in their communities.

Emergence Church has witnessed over 500 baptisms in just three years, a powerful testament to God’s work among its congregation. Over the past two years alone, attendance has surged by 50%, indicating a growing interest in the church’s mission and outreach. This explosive growth reflects not only the commitment of the church’s leadership but also the active engagement of its members in sharing the gospel.

Two pivotal changes have significantly contributed to this season of growth. First, establishing a weekly prayer meeting has become a vital engine for the church’s ministry. This dedicated time of prayer has fostered spiritual intimacy and reliance on God, providing a solid foundation for all church activities.

Second, a profound desire among church members to share their faith with friends and family has emerged. This newfound boldness and passion for evangelism are transforming lives and strengthening the church community. Ryan Baitzel, lead pastor at Emergence Church, notes how the Spirit has ignited a collective urgency to reach those outside the church, resulting in many new professions of faith. “We do our part, we plant, we water. The Bible says God gives the growth.” 

As Emergence Church continues to thrive in New Jersey, the testimony of its members reflects a deeper understanding of faith, community, and the power of prayer. The church remains focused on its mission: to reach and impact lives for Christ.
