I celebrate how God is moving in so many exciting ways across our church family — and drawing more people to himself week by week. As you read this year’s Impact Report, I hope you’ll celebrate how God is weaving threads of generosity through each story, as only he can. You will see stories that are familiar and stories that you didn’t know about, each one representing a step that someone took to follow Jesus and make a difference.

As your pastor, I celebrate as never before that we are a church that is truly “here for good” — for every energetic child who hears how much Jesus loves them; for every anxious student preparing for their next chapter by leaning into the assurance of their faith; and for every steadfast adult who abides in Jesus as their source of peace and hope through the changing seasons of life.

And all the while, God is renewing and energizing us for the future as we restore our sacred spaces and extend our reach to people near and far who so desperately need Jesus.

While there is much to celebrate, there is much to do — with bold, new steps for us to take to lead all generations to love Jesus. Let’s don’t stop here! As God guides us, let’s do it all together, with joy and gratitude, and not miss a single blessing that is to come. That will be the greatest celebration of all.

Praise be to God!
