Connecting people To Community,
God’s Kingdom, and their Calling
Every year the Staff and Elders of our church develop a comprehensive plan for our ministry efforts for the upcoming year. Our 2025 MINISTRY PLAN presents the ‘big-picture’ goals, expectations, and associated finances for your review, prayer, feedback, and commitment. We encourage you to review this plan summary and contact our Staff or Elders for details or questions.
In addition to this financial information, please review the information on the Elders page.
