2024 was indeed an incredible year! We witnessed hundreds of people come to faith in Jesus, get baptized, and join our vision to develop disciples of Christ in relational environments.
God faithfully provided the opportunity and resources to purchase land and renovate our new Counseling Center. We saw God at work in the generosity of our partners, who donated supplies and free labor to help launch our new facility. I'm confident that the Lord will continue to use our Counseling Ministry to provide hope and healing through the gospel to thousands of people in our community.
We also got outside the walls of the church and served our community in Maryville and Knoxville during Let's Go, Pack the Bus, our Food Drive, and our disaster relief for our neighbors affected by Hurricane Helene. We were blessed with one of our highest totals of baptisms this year, as we celebrated with 202 people who went public with their faith in Jesus.
Reflecting on these moments and their impact on our community's lives and families is truly inspiring. As a church, we continue to be grateful for the blessings that come from God as a result of His faithfulness and our people's willingness to serve the Lord.
We're a church that's always looking forward, driven by a belief in the Great Commission that calls us to "go and make disciples." As we strive to fulfill God's vision for our church, we want to reflect on 2024 and celebrate some things that God has done through your ministry. This annual report highlights some of the vital work that our church has witnessed. God has been so good to FC, and I pray that God continues to shower us with His blessing.
