Ministry

Impact Report

A Note from James

Our Community Church Movement recently closed out another year of ministry. And thanks to your commitment to the mission, and generosity through your time and giving, we had a remarkable year!

As you look through our 2022 Ministry Impact Report you will see:

  • We distributed the largest Christmas Offering in our history to meet the mission and outreach opportunities here, near, and far.
  • All of our church locations and congregations saw incredible growth in weekly attendance, commitments to Christ, baptisms, membership, and ministry involvement.
  • Over half of our church went through the ROOTED Discipleship Experience.

I pray that as you read through this report, you are both filled with gratitude for what God has done, and you are filled with hope for what he will do. Thank you for your investment and involvement in our mission of being “People helping People find and follow Jesus.”

The best is yet to come.
