As the year draws to a close, Denzel Washington has embraced a monumental chapter in his spiritual journey. On December 21, the legendary actor was baptized at the Historic Kelly Temple Church of God in Christ (COGIC) in New York City by Bishop James Pullings Jr. This sacred act symbolizes a deeper commitment to his faith and marks a profound moment in his life.
Washington also received his minister’s license, officially stepping into a new role within the Church of God in Christ organization. Known for his stellar performances in films like Training Day and The Equalizer, the Oscar-winning actor has now added “minister” to his impressive resume, taking his faith beyond personal devotion into active service.
“It took a while, but I’m finally here,” Washington shared with the congregation, his emotion-filled voice. “If [God] can do this for me, there’s nothing He can’t do for you. The sky is the limit.”
As Denzel Washington embraces his faith in a profound and public way, his journey serves as a reminder of the power of belief and the courage it takes to walk boldly in purpose.
