Tens of thousands of God-seekers in North Carolina attended a Christian festival with the single aim of “lifting up and glorifying Jesus Christ,” and hundreds of those attendees ended the weekend making decisions to “surrender their lives” to Him. More than 70 people were immediately baptized.
FaithFestNC 2024 kicked off this weekend in Wilkesboro, North Carolina and featured prominent Christian musicians including Rend Collective, We The Kingdom, Jason Crabb, and Matthew West.
The seventh annual event is a part of Craig Church Ministries, and according to its website it “uses worship music (in a variety of genres) and the Word of God (via testimonies and the preached Word) to unite believers, save the lost, bring a community together, and spark a revival that will change our area and beyond.”

Pastor Craig Church, who is the founder and executive director of the ministry, says the event attracts tens of thousands attendees each year.
“I can’t even put into words what the Lord has done this weekend,” he shared online. “Everybody is celebrating what the Lord has done.”
Clayton King, pastor and founder of Crossroads, spoke Friday night before a crowd of 30,000 people.
“I’ve never seen so many people so hungry and desperate for God in my life. I think we’re in the midst of a spiritual awakening. The world doesn’t see it. But I’m witnessing it,” he remarked.
King told CBN News that FaithFest is a unique Christian music festival because its focus is bringing souls into the Kingdom.
“I’ve preached at dozens of Christian music festivals over the past 37 years, but what sets FaithFest apart is their focus on evangelism. They prioritized the proclamation of the Gospel and as a result, we saw hundreds and hundreds of decisions for Christ,” he explained.
