Dear Friends in Christ,

As we approach our 190th anniversary celebration this weekend, I keep returning to Hebrews 11:1–3: “Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” These verses remind us that faith is future oriented, and reaches forward trusting God’s promises before we can see the outcome.

In 1835, our charter members had no idea what the future would look like. They wanted a place to worship the Lord. They couldn’t imagine the generations who would worship here, the ministries that would be born, or the lives that would be transformed within these walls. Their faith: steady, bold, and forward-looking, built the foundation where we worship.

Now it’s our turn. We honor their legacy not by looking back, but by stepping into God’s future with that same trust and courage. 

Thank you for your commitment, your generosity, and your willingness to dream. God is not done with us, and the next chapter promises to be full of hope, possibility, and Holy Spirit growth.

Many blessings,

Pastor Angie
