Hey Church Family,
I pray this email finds you well and experiencing God’s provision as we head into Spring. I’m so excited for this year’s Student Ministries Spring Break Mission Trips to Boise ID and Lind WA. Our students have been working so hard in preparation for their trips. I can’t wait to hear what God does in and through them while they are gone, and what will continue when they return! Let’s keep them in prayer while they’re away March 22-27. Thanks for all you did (and are doing) to support them!
As we head toward the second quarter of the year, here is where we stand financially.

Comments: We are thankful for the great start in 2025. We’ve seen an increase in overall giving and a few extra generous gifts to start the year. We see God at work, and it is exciting to know that our church family is involved and praying as we minister to so many people together each week.
WHAT’S NEXT
You can take a look at the budget below to see how we steward God’s money. We have increased the budget by 3% in 2025, and even though we are off to a great start, we will need all of your prayers and participation for this to come to fruition. If you’d like to give now, click HERE. Thank you for considering how you can participate in living out our mission of leading people to pursue a Jesus-first life.
NEW ROOF
Many of you have wished that you had brought an umbrella to church this past year to combat our leaky roof. We are finally getting the issue resolved by putting a new roof over our north auditorium. We are thankful for Assured Exteriors for the fabulous work they are doing. As you can imagine, this is no small expense as it will run us around 70k to complete. I’m so pleased to announce that we had the money saved for this type of expense and can pay for the project in full. Thank you for your faithful and consistent giving that helps take care of our facilities.
