Stewardship Campaign to begin

Let's journey together in love


Our annual stewardship campaign will begin soon. As a small church, we are uniquely positioned to foster deep relationships. Each of you plays an integral role in our community.


Your presence, your prayers, and your participation bring life to our church. However, this past year has been challenging. We have lost some beloved members, and their absence has been felt deeply in our hearts and in our ministries.


While these changes can weigh heavily on us, they also remind us of the importance of coming together to strengthen our church. We need to ensure that our community continues to thrive, which means we must also increase our efforts in stewardship.


Generosity is a journey, it’s a practice that we learn and nurture within our hearts. It just isn’t in our nature to give away what we have worked hard to acquire or to donate our precious time without compensation. It takes something as radical as Love to inspire us to share our time, talent, and treasure with others.


This is a journey we make together, a Walk in Love!
