On Thursday our Pastoral Team piles into a minivan and heads to Phoenix, AZ. They'll be spending three days with pastors from seven churches in the western United States for our denomination's Regional Assembly of Elders. In these meetings they'll be discussing, strategizing, and praying for our work to train pastors and plant churches. Keep them and their families in prayer this week.
Our denomination recently celebrated the 20 year anniversary of its Pastors College with a video that explains and recounts its history. In 1997, Sovereign Grace Churches created a context to intentionally train and equip men for pastoral ministry.
287 men have been through the college and two of them are our pastors (look closely in the photos). We thank God for putting us in a denomination where calling, equipping, and supporting pastors is a high priority.
Enjoy the video above and read more on Sovereign Grace's website.
We publish updates on our financial status throughout the year. A final annual report is published every Fall.
These figures represent the grace of God at work in the members and friends of our local church. It's unmistakable. God is being kind towards us and we want to thank Him and you.
Thank you.
Of course, numbers are only a small fraction of all the way our church is contributing to the ministry of our church. Wouldn't it be great if we could publish a monthly report on your generous affections for one another? Or all the hours you spend together? Thank you for living no longer for yourselves but for God and your neighbor!
May the accounting of His provisions encourage your faith. Please continue to pray that we would steward it all for the advance of His gospel and the good of His church.

Earlier this month your pastors attended our denomination's annual pastors conference. The Lord works wonderfully at this event each year and now you can get in on it.
We encourage you to listen in.
