2025 Impact Report

Encountering Jesus Together

“ In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16

Let's Reflect

As we reflect on 2025, I am grateful for our church’s commitment to growth, not just in numbers, but in the depth of our pursuit of Jesus.

This year, we embraced the challenge of cutting through the noise of a distracted age to simply behold the Lamb of God. Real change begins when we fix our gaze on Christ, allowing his Spirit to transform us into the likeness of Jesus. As we do this as a church family, we grow together.

Looking ahead, we remain committed to being a people who refuse to hide our light. We will continue to grow in courage, living faithfully so that our lives point others toward the glory of the Father.

Our prayer is that the things of earth would continue to grow strangely dim as we look full into the wonderful face of the One who is making all things new.

After retiring from law enforcement, God revealed His plan—serving through my church, proving my identity is in Him, not a badge.
