HOME       Vision Statement:   "To know Christ and make Christ known."
Dedication Sunday – March 7TH

We will be dedicating our commitment cards for the coming year on Sunday March 7th during our morning worship service. The Budget Sub-team is in the process of formulating a budget for the coming fiscal year and needs to have realistic income figures at their disposal. Let us all be in prayer that our stewardship campaign will be a success so that our church can maintain a viable presence in the Sebastian area. Our Vision Statement (To know Christ and make Christ known) says it well – we want to have a close relationship with Christ ourselves while we endeavor to make Christ known throughout our community.

The theme for this year’s campaign is “Does Your Giving Match Your Blessings?”  As we consider our giving for the coming year, let us pause to consider the various ways God has blessed us, ask ourselves if our giving is truly related to our blessings, and then respond accordingly.
