Dear St. Paul’s family:
Toward the start of each year, our dedicated Staff/Parish Relations team and I work together on setting goals for our shared ministry. This allows for clarity and collaboration as we seek to introduce people to a deep relationship with Jesus Christ. To that end, I want to share with you a few things we will be working on in 2024 (and maybe beyond!).
First, we will be looking at worship opportunities for our community. We celebrate and look forward to how God will continue to bless our midweek worship. We will continue to grow our online presence and explore new worship endeavors. Individual and family schedules and priorities have changed so much over the last few decades, making it imperative for churches to be flexible and creative in reaching people with the good news.
Secondly, we will seek to nurture shared worship and ministry opportunities with area churches. I celebrate our developing relationship with Living Faith Bible Church and hope to partner with other area churches for future endeavors, both in worship and in outreach.
Thirdly, it is our desire to see more opportunities for spiritual formation and Bible study. One sign of a healthy church is people growing deep in their faith and sharing together in small groups. This is vital for us as believers and as a church as we move forward.
As we make progress, we will communicate and celebrate it together. Ultimately, all of this is understood in the context of stewardship – being good caretakers of the numerous resources with which God has entrusted us. When we commit our time, talent, and treasure to furthering the gospel of Jesus Christ, we are being obedient to God’s call on our lives as individuals and as a community of faith. I call on you to pray for me, our church, and to commit yourself this year and beyond to being a generous disciple of Jesus Christ.
Peace in Christ,
Pastor Evan
