We cannot reflect on 2024 and not see the faithfulness of God to our church family! This year has been a historic year for us as we continue to chase after the vision God has given us to reach from our Neighbors to the Nations.
As you scroll down and read the stories here, we pray that the Holy Spirit encourages your heart to reflect on what God has done and how you and your family can be involved in the vision of our church. Let’s continue to chase after our mission of being the church, helping people love Jesus, to live for him every day!
What your giving is going to
Will you partner with us as we financially support the mission God has given our church? Our God-Sized goal is $5 million, which will help us launch ministry in 2025 strong, fuel church planting efforts around the world, and fund our new kids building!
You can participate by:
PRAYING. Ask God how He would lead you to give generously and sacrificially, in addition to your normal tithe, as we anticipate Greater Things in the coming year.
GIVING. All offerings given in the month of December will go toward the Greater Things offering. Click below to give toward equipping the next generation and planting churches!
Missions
Local, national, and international - we are committed to being a SENDING church. Our missions giving supports missionaries and organization partnerships around the world who are committed to preaching the gospel in word and in deed.
New Kids Building
Our kids area needs more room for continued growth, FBA Fine Arts needs a space for practice + performances, freeing up current classrooms and creating space for a STEM Lab, and we have a need for additional space designed for easy set up for special events + worship overflow.

Day in and day out, our church family is encouraging, growing, worshiping, and serving together to make disciples of Jesus Christ of all people. Your giving supports the daily work that allows that ministry to expand, grow, and raise up the next generation of disciples.
