As I look back on 2024, my heart is filled with gratitude—for the moments we’ve shared as a community, the ways God has worked through us, and the opportunities we’ve had to grow as a church.

This past year, we took significant steps to strengthen our spiritual foundation. We launched an app designed to help our church take meaningful next steps in their faith journey. We expanded Circles, with a record number of people engaged in deep, life-giving community. And we saw more people than ever serving our city through outreach efforts.

Yet through it all, we remained steadfast in our highest value: The Gospel is our Priority. We witnessed hundreds of people make a decision to follow Jesus and had the incredible privilege of baptizing many of them. If I had to choose one moment that impacted me most in 2024, it would be Baptism Weekend. Seeing 95 people publicly declare Jesus as their Lord through baptism was an unforgettable, holy moment.

To everyone who served, gave, and led in our church this year—you have my deepest appreciation. This church is not built on the talents of a few, but on the sacrifices of many. I am honored that God has called me to lead this incredible church, and I can’t wait to see what He does through us in 2025.

On the Path,
