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. Over 3,000 hot dogs were given away. There were baptisms, lives surrendered to the Lord, and divine connections among churches that have lasted ever since.

Thousands gathered. Lives transformed. Churches united.

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

This year, we believe for even more. More salvations, more baptisms, more healings, more seeds planted. Not just during the event, but in the days leading up to it and the season that follows. Prayer walks, evangelism, and preparation are already underway.

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
