Baptism Sunday – August 9, 2026

July 6, 2026 – ANNOUNCEMENT

August 9, 2026 update – Baptisms Completed – video below

When are the baptisms for 2026?

Pastor Bob Joyce has announced that Sunday, August 9, 2026, will be the annual designated Sunday for baptisms. Baptisms will take place after the sermon just a few miles away in a nearby creek. Pastor Bob Joyce baptizes by immersion in water based upon profession of faith in Jesus Christ and in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Where will the baptisms take place?

Baptisms will be in Taylor Creek on Mulberry Road about 3-and-a-half miles southwest of Household of Faith Church. Leaving the church building, take a left (south) on Samples Road to the stop sign at Mulberry-Salem Road. Turn right (west) and follow Mulberry Road west for 3 miles. There are no buildings at the creek but the address is close to 3216 Mulberry Salem Rd, Benton, AR 72019, if you would like to use a mapping program. There is parking along Mulberry Road and a short walk down to the creek area. This is the same location as baptisms in the creek in 2025.

What should be planned for a baptism?

It is recommended that you bring a dry set of clothes, a towel (or several towels). It is also recommended that you have a dark shirt and dark shorts, longer pants, or jeans for the time in the water. Please do not wear skimpy clothing for baptism. Some type of footwear for the water would be good in case of rocks or anything sharp in the walking area. There is not a place to change clothes at the creek. Riverside Grocery is one mile west, at the intersection of Mulberry Road and Arkansas Highway 5, with restrooms available.

Is there a sign-up sheet?

There is not an early sign-up list or any kind of registration required. In the past, a sign-up sheet has not been needed. Everyone at the creek for baptism in past years was received.

UPDATE: August 9, 2026 – Baptisms were completed in Taylor Creek as planned. There were 38 people who came for baptism. The video is available here, if it does not show below.

Bob Joyce Internet Notes

  1. Bob Joyce has never claimed to be anyone but Bob Joyce.
    • Videos, channels, and accounts which report that Bob claimed otherwise are fake, A.I., edited, or completely unconnected to his ministry. Recently, someone edited part of a 2017 video around the four minute mark while faking Bob’s voice and changing the words. This is the original video from 2017. He actually said, “I am not anybody else but who I am, Bob Joyce.”
  2. Bob Joyce does not send messages or have conversations online.
    • People pretending to be Bob Joyce continually send out messages to find new victims, but not one of those accounts is actually Bob.
  3. Bob Joyce does not ask anyone to send him direct messages.
    • Fake Bob Joyce accounts want to reach people separately and privately so they can quietly take advantage of those who do not know the accounts are fake.
  4. No amount of followers will make a fake Bob Joyce account into a real account.
    • Many fake Bob Joyce accounts have thousands of followers, but they are not Bob Joyce.
  5. Bob Joyce never discusses gift cards, money apps, Apple payments, QFS, or anything about cryptocurrency.
    • Bob Joyce never discusses any payments or account information. Any posts or requests like these should immediately alert that a fake Bob Joyce account is trying to run a scam.
  6. If you believe you are communicating with the real Bob Joyce, tell him to post a note here on BobJoyce.org
    • The real Bob Joyce can easily have anything he wants posted on BobJoyce.org while fake accounts won’t be able to post at all and they’ll have to make excuses.
  7. Bob Joyce does not support people who take the focus of his ministry off of Jesus Christ.
    • People may support and promote beliefs which are not part of Bob Joyce’s ministry for Jesus Christ. Some may have visited or may be members of the local church. Despite these claims, Bob Joyce is not a supporter of anyone who takes the focus off of Jesus Christ.
  8. Copies of Bob Joyce music and videos are often used by self-promoters.
    • Some people make copies of Bob Joyce’s music and videos to edit and to post under their own name. Some pretend to know “inside information” or “secrets” while promoting themselves for clicks, views, and payments. These people are not part of Bob Joyce’s ministry.

These notes are listed above not to single anyone out, but to show how often people are being confused, approached, victimized, or otherwise misled by what is happening online, distracting from Pastor Bob Joyce’s genuine music and sermons in his ministry for Jesus Christ.
