End of Year Giving Report

Your generosity in 2024 has been amazing! We're excited and thankful to report that strong end-of-year giving to the General Fund helped us reach and slightly exceed the giving goal. We give thanks to God for His blessing and provision for our church as we continue to lead people to Discover God, Develop Faith, and Display Christ-Like Love. Thank you for giving joyfully and sacrificially towards the weekly ongoing mission and activities of our church.

We will provide a financial update in the coming weeks.
