At the Annual Family Meeting in January, we will elect new members to our Leadership Team. The Leadership Team serves as the guardrails of the church, keeping us on track and headed in the right direction. The Leadership Team meets monthly and some of their responsibilities include: reviewing the church's finances, receiving ministry updates from the pastors and ministry leaders, and giving council on major issues and decisions that affect our church. If you are a member of the church and feel led by God to suggest recommendations for the pastor to nominate someone for his team, you may do so by using the Connection Card (please use your name as the person making the recommendation). Recommendations will be received through Sunday, December 28, 2025. Bobby Spillman will be rotating off at the end of January. Connie Miracle has declined to serve a second term. Ryan Anderson, Matt Harowitz, & Jenn Wright are eligible to serve a second terms & have agreed to do so if approved by the chruch. Members continuing to serve through 2026 are: Ashley Evans, Shawn Lippert, Brian Kennedy, Marcia Liverman, & Emily Vondrak.

If you have any end-of-year giving for the church, all contributions must be received in the office (or postmarked) NO LATER THAN December 31, 2025. Any donations AFTER that date cannot be counted on your 2025 tax record. Your 2025 Contribution Statements will be ready for you by the end of January. If you have any questions, please contact May Bowers in the church office @ (520) 747-3500.
