Denzel Washington, one of Hollywood’s most iconic stars, has made a powerful commitment to his faith, recently being baptized and receiving his minister’s license. The Oscar-winning actor took part in a profound spiritual moment at the Kelly Temple Church of God in Christ in New York City on Saturday. Dressed in a white robe and a burgundy stole adorned with crosses, Denzel humbly bowed his head as spiritual leaders immersed him in the baptismal waters.
Along with his baptism certificate, Denzel was granted a minister’s license, officially designating him as a member of the clergy of the Churches of God in Christ Worldwide. His wife of 41 years, Pauletta Washington, was present to support him, capturing the moment on camera from the front row.
Denzel’s decision to undergo baptism later in life places him alongside other celebrities who have reaffirmed their faith, including Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, and Mario Lopez. It’s clear that this holiday season, Denzel is celebrating the Christ in Christmas.
