Local Megachurch Adds Fast-Pass Baptism Lane For Donors Who Hate Waiting Wet
Church leaders say the lane honors both generosity and the discomfort of soaked khakis.
A local megachurch has added a fast-pass baptism lane for donors who hate waiting wet, allowing high-giving congregants to move from water to towel with minimal time spent beside regular believers.
The lane runs along the side of the baptism pool and includes priority towels, a discreet hair dryer, and a volunteer trained to say "powerful moment" while checking a laminated donor tier chart.
"We are not selling salvation," said executive pastor Brent Mallow. "We are honoring generosity with a smoother aquatic journey."
Church leaders said standard baptism remains available to all, though general admission participants may experience a longer drip time if the 11 a.m. service has several platinum families.
The church is also testing a photo package where donors can choose between Dove Light, Corporate Retreat, and My Father Finally Looked Proud.
