Sophie Cunningham, a guard for the Indiana Fever, shared a video this week showing her undergoing re-baptism at Christ’s Church of the Valley in Peoria, Arizona, describing the moment as a personal decision rooted in her faith.

In a post on TikTok, Cunningham said she had been baptized as a child but felt compelled to do it again as an adult after what she described as a “tug” on her heart. She wrote that the experience was a meaningful personal milestone and expressed gratitude, adding, “Thank you, Jesus.”

Cunningham’s post also included additional comments on social media in which she referenced her Christian faith and described her experience in positive terms. The video shows her participating in the baptism ceremony at the Arizona-based church.

The public expression of faith comes as Cunningham recently re-signed with the Indiana Fever on a one-year contract, according to team announcements earlier this month. The move keeps her with the franchise as it continues to build around its current roster heading into the upcoming WNBA season.

Fever leadership praised Cunningham’s return, highlighting her shooting ability and energy on and off the court. The team’s general manager noted her role as both a strong perimeter scorer and a locker room presence, crediting her impact on teammates and fans during her time with the organization.

Cunningham also reflected on her first season with Indiana, describing the group as resilient and emphasizing her desire to continue building with the team after a year marked by roster challenges and adjustments.

She said she is looking forward to the upcoming season and competing in front of Indiana’s fan base, signaling optimism about the team’s direction as preparations continue for the new campaign.
