2025 Year End Review
January 2026
Dear World Changers,
Thank you for all your financial support this past year. Together, we have truly “Loved GOD and Loved PEOPLE!” Your generous gifts made the difference and allowed us to “CONNECT people to the cross,” “MENTOR disciples,” and “SEND out leaders to disciple and evangelize the nations.” In 2025, we baptized 36 new believers, we ended the year with 174 committed disciples, we averaged 235 in our services, and ordained 10 new disciple-making deacons.
As of today, we have a church with 80% of our attendees in discipleship; thus, we are fulfilling the Great Commission- Praise the Lord! We ended 2025 with a total of 14 life groups, hitting a monthly average of 247. By God’s grace, we successfully completed our 4th year of Legacy Ministry College with 23 current students, and God has faithfully opened all the doors for us to begin the accreditation process!
Over the summer, we were able to send our children to camp, and our youth participated in a mission trip in New Orleans. We have also been faithful in preaching the gospel across the City of Chicago, including our annual 3- day evangelism outreach to Lollapalooza. In 2025, our evangelism team led multiple outreaches each month, and we partnered with Love Life, a powerful ministry on reaching abortion-minded individuals, which helped save 33 babies from abortion in Chicago this past year. Additionally, in 2025, one of the moms that chose life got baptized in our church and now has a healthy baby boy.
To fund the ministry, we graciously received $426,107.57 in tithes and offering. Additionally, we raised $41,343.01 for missions to touch the world with the love of Jesus and $12,477.77 for the building fund to supply the needs of the church building. As a church, we gave away $61,348.25 to help demonstrate the Kingdom of God in a tangible way in our community, around the U.S., and abroad.
God truly met our needs and gave us more than enough. Thank you for all your love and support this past year and we pray that God will richly bless you with the desires of your heart as you seek first His Kingdom and righteousness.
Matthew 6:33, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Loving God and People,
