Faith TV Students Kids Rock Finances Testimonies Project 25 Menu Faith TV Students Kids Rock Finances Testimonies Project 25 2023 Annual report What another incredible year of growth 2023 was at FAITH! Many experienced the Gospel of Jesus Christ: the death, burial, and resurrection. We are thankful for every new birth into the Kingdom of God. We have seen our overall attendance on Sunday increase! Many of our key leaders are parking in a remote lot to make room for new families. There is great excitement with the building being packed to capacity which creates an amazing anticipation of what God is doing. Lives are being changed and families are being added to the church on a weekly basis, which is what this annual report is mostly about. Yes, we celebrate once again another record year of giving, which you will see in the following report. However, there is no financial number worth celebrating without equating it to the lives that have been transformed. To every faithful giver in your finances, Crystal and I say thank you. You have invested in more than brick and mortar; you have invested in all of eternity. I am forever grateful to serve a church that is so generous for His Kingdom. Much appreciation for you, Kent W.

Elevate Student Ministries had a transformative year in 2023, marked by significant growth, impactful events, and memorable experiences. Through a combination of engaging activities, community outreach, and spiritual development initiatives, Elevate continued to inspire and empower the youth in our community. $ 0 k + Elevate Your Summer was a resounding success, exceeding our expectations and raising a total of $20,000+. This fundraiser not only provided crucial financial support for our ministry and missions around the world but also fostered a sense of unity and excitement among our students and supporters. The funds raised enabled us to expand our programming, enhance our facilities, and invest in the spiritual growth of our youth. Throughout the year, Elevate hosted a variety of events designed to foster community, fun, and spiritual growth. Some of the highlights included: -Capture the Flag, Manhunt, Water Wars, and Color Wars. These events not only provided opportunities for fellowship and recreation but also served as platforms for discipleship and relationship-building among our students. In conclusion, 2023 was a year of growth, impact, and transformation for Elevate Student Ministries. We celebrate thirteen students being baptized and seven receiving the gift of the Holy ghost. Through our participation in Youth Congress, the success of Elevate Your Summer fundraiser, and the hosting of various events, we have seen God move powerfully in the lives of our students and community. As we look ahead, we are excited about the continued growth and influence of Elevate, and we are committed to empowering the next generation to live out their faith boldly and make a difference in the world. Thank you to all our supporters, volunteers, and students for making this year possible. Our Leaders In Training program continues to be an important part of the foundation of Elevate. Seeing students from 6th grade to college-age developing the skills needed to become leaders in the church to help grow the work here at Faith and impact God’s Kingdom has been incredible! This program has continued to grow, and more students have joined. You may see these students on Sundays taking photos, recording video, working in Kids Rock, greeting, or putting words on the screens up. Each of these areas are essential to a smooth, effective church service. If you see these students hard at work, please continue to encourage them and let them know how thankful we are for their willingness to work for the Kingdom! NAYC in St. Louis One of the highlights of the year was our trip to Youth Congress in St. Louis. This event provided twenty of our students with the opportunity to come together with thousands of other young people from across the country to worship, learn, and connect. Through powerful speakers, dynamic worship sessions, and meaningful workshops, our students were challenged and equipped to deepen their faith and live out their calling. I was on my bed in my dorm when my mom called and said, Hey do you want to go to NAYC?” At the time, this was the worst thing she could’ve said. She had been asking me for weeks and I never really gave her a clear-cut answer. I was nervous, I never went to a Youth Congress before, and I didn’t even know what would be going on. Despite my doubts and concerns, I heard the voice of God telling me to go. The first day, God spoke to me about pridefulness and not leaning on my own understanding but trusting Him. Leaning into His will and not my own. After that service I was stunned. I was thinking God really has a plan for my life, a calling, a direction, a purpose just for me. That second night during worship everything went silent. I was with the King during this moment, and He revealed to me my assignment. I was preaching to the youth at my church in the upstairs chapel. I asked God to show me more and I saw a fire all around me. After receiving this vision, I opened my eyes and immediately denied this. I told God, No way You want me to do this, I am no leader. Why me?” Upon closing my eyes, He showed me all the times I’ve leaded and mentored in my life without realizing it. He told me that all my gifts were made to satisfy His glory. Then on the last service, I made a promise to God that no matter what happens to me, I’m going to fulfill the call. And in that very moment He put a burning fire inside of me that will never ever extinguish! Myles Wilson This year was another incredible year for our children’s ministry, Kids Rock!
