The growth that we have experienced over the years has continued into the present. Additions to our ministries and programming have helped us to see more individuals involved in Sunday morning Bible Study and Children and Youth ministries. Consider the following:
- Since adding Children’s Worship in February 2009, we have averaged over 50 children every week.
- Our youth ministry has nearly doubled its Wednesday night attendance since beginning separate services for Junior and Senior high students.
- Sunday Morning Bible Study attendance has increased by approximately 25% since August 2008.
Along with the continued numerical growth, we have seen our monthly giving increase slightly in spite of our difficult economic times.
In considering the present, however, an alarming trend has emerged. As you will note by looking at the Weekly Attendance Chart for July 2009-Present, our Worship attendance has fluctuated from month to month. This trend indicates that we have maxed out our available space and will need to be addressed by creatively using our present space and by planning for possible future expansion.
