As we approach the end of 2024, we serve a loving Savior. Just over five years ago our building committee rejoiced at the completion of our wonderful new addition! We were able to expand our greeting and entrance areas, replace and relocate our service elevator indoors, expand our children’s ministry area and nursery and add new bathrooms both on our lower level and on our worship level. Praise God! To accomplish these goals one of our funding models has included our Faith Partners
program. Faith Partners are a group of dedicated individuals who have generously committed to make an annual $1000.00 donation to our building fund over the duration of the bond. If you are not yet a Faith Partner, please consider becoming one. If you are already a Faith Partner then we want to take this opportunity to both sincerely thank you and to remind you to kindly submit your pledge amount to
Henry Vogel or the deacons by December 31, 2024. Please note that all donations are tax deductible. May God continue to bless our ministry as we go forward in the use of our expanded campus and as we worship here together and strive to bring Him the glory. Thank you for prayerfully considering how you can be a faith partner and supporter of God’s vision at Goshen Christian Reformed Church.
