This translates to over 7 500 volunteer hours every year. 2. With a number of our community only able to connect online we’ve grown and established our production ministry with over 21 people helping with the live production taking photos sound and audio-visual production as well as the in-person visuals and lyrics to help the congregation engage with the worship service. 3. Our Young Adults weekly bible study and support groups grew and thrived over the year with dozens of young people 17-25 attending for fellowship and support and growing in their relationship with the Lord. A couple stepped up to lead this ministry and have a passion to support young adults as they navigate the adult world. 4. Once again we held the Purpose Night for local youth and young adults. The invitation for the night was open to everyone and anyone. We had a great time of worship an encouraging guest speaker and an after party with snacks a DJ and a bull-ride. It was an amazing me and such a fun night with over 200 in attendance and over 40 volunteers helping out. 5. Over the summer we were once again able to run Summer Send our weekly youth group for 13 – 16 years. We hired a summer staff to facilitate the program and build community with the youth. It was a great program that saw about a dozen youth attending over the summer and enjoying the fellowship. 6. Overall we have over 85 volunteers that have contributed so much to help our ministry to grow and thrive. We are so grateful for their support.
