HONORING OUR BEGINNINGS

STRENGTHENING THE PRESENT

PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE

This campaign honors the faithful choices that brought us here while preparing us to step boldly into what comes next. By strengthening our financial foundation, we free our ministry to focus more on serving the people God places in our path.

Together, we can ensure that Messiah remains a place where the Gospel is proclaimed, people are nurtured in faith, and future generations find a spiritual home.

We have the opportunity to make an eternal difference

OUR PROGRESS

Together, we can strengthen ministry through 2030 and prepare Messiah to proclaim the Gospel and serve generations to come.
