Madison Community Celebrates Baptisms, Profession of Faith, and Rebaptism

Local Church June 18, 2026

Madison Community celebrated two baptisms and one Profession of Faith on April 18, 2026.

Robenson Bent Michel, the husband of one of our members, asked Pastor Puedivan several months earlier to study for baptism. After diligently studying week after week, Robenson publicly expressed his desire to follow Christ, serve Him, worship Him only, and join our church through baptism.

In October 2025, Pastor Puedivan was contacted through the church website’s Contact Us form by Robert Clark, who wanted to learn more about Adventism. At the time, Robert was engaged to Jenifer Martiyana. After Pastor Puedivan connected with Robert, they began studying together regularly. As a result, Robert was baptized on April 18, and Jenifer joined the church by Profession of Faith. They are beginning their marriage with a public expression of their shared love for Jesus.

Then, on May 16, 2026, Kiana Drone-Grant was baptized and her husband, Kerio Grant, was rebaptized the day after they were married at our church. What a blessed weekend it was for them to make vows to each other and then both to Jesus.

We welcome Robenson, Robert, Jenifer, Kiana, and Kerio to our church family.

Madison Community Clerk
