Church Meeting

On Monday night we had our annual church meeting. It is a time when the covenant members (aka just regular church members) come together and talk about what's going on in the church and what is coming up next. Our Pastor started off by giving his Pastor's report on the last year. It was a very positive report. The average attendance of our church is up from 90 last year to about 125 this year. That is pretty significant growth for our area, so that is pretty exciting! That was followed by the treasurer's report which was also pretty exciting. The churches annual giving has also gone up. It's so neat to see the way the Lord is blessing the church.

With this growth comes new issues to work through. One thing that we are beginning to look forward to is building a new youth/children's ministries building. At the meeting, the board proposed an idea to build a large shed for youth and children's ministries. This opens the door for larger programs and for multiple things to go on at one time. Right now we are limited for space and the kind of activities we can do because of the room that we are in.

With more people attending church comes the need for more leaders. We are struggling to find enough people who are committed to being ministry leaders. A lot of people would be great leaders but don't have the time or are not willing to make it a priority. Please pray with us that God will provide more leaders so that ministries can grow.

We are so grateful to be a part of this church. We are both growing a lot through our experience here!
