It is with great joy that I write informing you that our congregation has overwhelmingly voted to affirm the vision laid out for Envisioning Transformation. The final tally for the vote was 98% voting to affirm the vision out of 339 votes cast. Our democratic polity has spoken loud and clear and we should humbly seek God’s face together as we move forward as a unified congregation towards the exciting next steps in this process.
 
Tomorrow, the Nominating Committee will begin the process of formulating the team or teams needed to accomplish this vision. After the formation of the responsible group, I will keep you posted on an updated timeline for the fundraising and execution of the projects involved as those details are finalized. As we move forward, will you prayerfully consider how you will contribute to making this vision become a reality? Certainly, financial stewardship must be a consideration for all of us, but the primary goal of this initiative is transformation. I’m asking you to lean into your faith in the months ahead and ask the questions: “How is God transforming my life?” Rest assured of this truth for you and for us, the best is yet to come!
 
God’s Blessings,
 
Dr. Stephen V. Allen
Senior Pastor
