Giving Statement Letter
This post explains that 2025 giving statements were sent through PushPay and includes the letter that accompanied them. The letter reflects on a milestone year marked by guest speakers, gospel partnerships, and the launch of the ADVANCE Vision Initiatives in view of Metro Life’s 50th anniversary in 2035. It reports encouraging momentum and financial stability with roughly 92 days of operating reserves, while also acknowledging that regular giving declined about 4% below budget and fluctuated significantly month to month. Those swings affected planning and contributed to the decision not to provide cost-of-living increases for staff, even as the church remains committed to fair compensation and care for leaders and employees. The post emphasizes gratitude for the generosity already present in the church and explains how consistent giving rhythms help steward resources wisely, support ministry, and care for staff, noting that January giving is up 5%. It closes by grounding generosity in God’s provision and grace, thanking the church for giving that flows from joy rather than pressure.

Meet the Alive D-Group Leaders
In this update on Alive, our ministry to students in middle and high school, Chris introduces us to a group of individuals who are seeking to make a difference in the life of our teens. D-Group (short for Discipleship Group) leaders want to break down walls as students walk in so they don’t have a chance to feel lonely, scared, or bored. Our goal in Alive is an engagement with truth and practical application of God’s word to life everyday. We want to let them know that we care about them, that they are walking into a safe place, and we want to have fun with them.
