Our Church, Part 3
We’re continuing our newsletter series, Our Church—welcome to Part 3 of the story!
Our One Church in five locations has grown 10% in attendance from January 2024 to today which represents over 500 more people that are a part of our church today than last year!
In 2024, we celebrated over 300 Baptisms, and every week we served over 700 children birth to 5th grade and over 260 middle and senior high school students weekly. Literally thousands of children and students are learning about Jesus with trusted and faithful volunteers across our campuses!
It is undeniable that the Lord is working powerfully through the people that call our church home, and we are humbled and grateful for His faithfulness. He is worthy of everything that we have and we love serving Jesus along with all of you.
It’s thrilling to know that we have over 500 more people in our church this year than last year. We seek to be trusted stewards of everything that is entrusted to us and to ensure that we know whether what we’re doing is making undeniable kingdom impact
What we want for the 500 new people that have joined in this last year is what we want for everyone in our church family. We desire that people feel known, cared for, and invited to pursue Jesus in community. We want to care well for new believers, ensuring that there are mature, committed followers of Jesus ready to help lead, walk alongside, and support their discipleship.
At every campus, we are committed to helping disciple and pastor people so that they can say “yes” -- to serving for the first time, as well as take on greater leadership in serving. We also want people to take steps of faith in their financial giving. Currently, 70% of those who call our church home participate in giving financially to the ministry. Of those 70%, 60% give less than $40.00 per month to the ministry. We believe that part of the joy of claiming Jesus is to participate in what he is doing around the world, as well as what he is doing through this local church body and our broader church.
We want to see more of those who call our church home be transformed as they trust God – giving of themselves to the mission of Jesus through our church. Psalm 127 says “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.”|
We want to see our generosity increase and our finances to grow at the same rate as our attendance grows. We want to see individuals step further in to serve as God is calling them so that we may continue to respond to all those who are coming through our doors. Will you pray about and consider how God may be inviting you to step in and step up in this next season?
