Powered by Faith II: Expanding Our Impact
Most Faith members are familiar with our mission statement, “To learn, serve and share the gospel of Jesus Christ,” but do you know our vision statement?
It calls for us, “To be a dynamic, energized, worshiping community where all are growing in our relationship with Jesus Christ, one another and those beyond our walls.” To live out our vision, we need all hands-on deck.
Thank you for your support with our campaign three years ago. Your contributions powered existing ministries like worship and youth programming. Your contributions fueled new ministries like small groups, calling another associate pastor in fall 2018, and expanding our community partnerships. Our community is growing, our congregation is flourishing and our ministries are expanding!
We are launching our next financial appeal called, “Powered by Faith II: Expanding Our Impact.” Your faithfulness empowers our ministries in ever-expanding ways: here at Faith Lutheran Church, in Waconia, in the Twin Cities and with our global partners.
Over the next three years, our annual ministry and capital budget will exceed $3.3 million.
In Matthew 5:16 we are reminded, “Let your light so shine before others, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” The question that we ask of you…are you letting your light shine at Faith Lutheran?
Will you help us continue to grow and “expand our impact”?
Take a look at the many and various ways we are expanding our impact!
