Building a Legacy That Matters
2023 was a year that’s easy to celebrate. From a season of unbelievable growth, to countless personal stories of life change and renewal, there’s no doubt that God is at work in and through our church family.
We believe that work is just getting started. With the unveiling of our 55×35 Legacy vision this fall, we’re praying that the lives God is changing today will be the catalyst to bring the Gospel to thousands more in the decade to come.
As we link arms to begin a new legacy together, let’s take a moment to reflect on all that we have to be thankful for over the past 12 months.
