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.

Parenting In Faith
We can't wait for this Sunday's Alive Parent Meeting which will begin immediately following our service in the chapel. We want to make our time together as strategic as possible without making it a burden on you or your family. With that in mind here are 3 quick things you'll need to know.
We will soon begin a new study called “elements: Holy Spirit†that I pray will make a big impact on your teenager’s understanding of the Holy Spirit and the impact having Him in us and with us each day makes on his or her lives. Over the course of this study, your teenager will understand who the Holy Spirit is and what His presence in his or her life signifies, the role Jesus played in ushering in a new way of relating to the Holy Spirit, and what exactly the Bible means by the “fruit of the Spirit.†More importantly, it will help your teenager see how this impacts his or her lives.
