Forward in Faith
God has been faithful to us, and God is still at work among us. This fall, we’ll be reflecting on what it means to move Forward in Faith as a congregation: looking back with gratitude for those who have gone before us, trusting God with what lies ahead, and considering how we can faithfully invest in the ministry God has placed before us. Join us as we press forward together, embracing new opportunities to serve, new people to welcome, new ways to share God’s love, and new possibilities for and new possibilities for the work God is calling us to do.
Introduction Video
As we begin this year’s Forward in Faith stewardship emphasis, take a moment to watch this brief video as we reflect on where we’ve been, where God is leading us, and how we can continue moving forward together.
