As we close out this year, we're looking ahead with anticipation for all that is in store for 2025! One way we prepare for a strong start is through Encounter, our special year-end giving opportunity. It's a chance to invest in the vision that God has for us as a church on our shared mission.

Goal 1: Caribbean Seminary

 

Through Encounter, we can empower future Pastors and leaders by underwriting a full year for the Caribbean Seminary. This vital initiative provides accessible theological education to pastors and church leaders in Cuba who otherwise would not have access to such training. By supporting their education, we are equipping them to lead their congregations, plant new churches, and share the Gospel in regions where resources are often limited. Your generosity will directly impact dozens of leaders and hundreds of people in their communities, ensuring that the message of Christ continues to transform lives throughout the Caribbean and beyond. Together, we can strengthen the global church in powerful ways.

 

 

Goal 2: Planning for Growth

Our church is experiencing remarkable growth, creating an exciting season of opportunity. Sunday mornings often bring full parking lots and creative seating solutions, as attendance has more than doubled in three years. Many of our ministries are seeing similar momentum.

This blessing brings challenges, particularly with our facilities. To prepare for the future, we are establishing a dedicated fund through Encounter to address practical needs. Key projects to consider include increasing parking, expanding sanctuary seating, renovating the north entrance, and enhancing handicap accessibility, ensuring a welcoming environment for everyone.

By planning now, we can wisely steward God’s blessings and meet the needs of our congregation and community. Together, we’ll create spaces where lives are transformed, ensuring Christ is glorified for generations.

 

 

Goal 3: New West Entrance (In Progress)

Our facility is one of our greatest assets for ministry, and improving it allows us to serve our congregation and community better. The west entrance is nearing the end of its usable life, with weathered awnings, aging doors, and structural issues in the columns. We have already begun a 2-year process of updating this area. We’ve met with architects and contractors about how to update the space most cost-effectively. We will break ground once it’s all nailed down.  These updates will enhance security, unify our buildings with a cohesive design, and improve functionality.
