JOIN US IN SPREADING GOD'S LOVE IN 2024!
2023 was a robust year of impact, growth and congregational commitment. We would love to have you join us in 2024!
We embraced over 100 combined virtual worshipers and in-sanctuary worshipers WEEKLY from around the entire U.S. weekly in 2023! We have a national focus, but with a local footprint.
We launched our online worship experience in March of 2020 during the start of COVID. Having learned how to integrate online worship with our current in-person experience allows our members to engage in worship where it works for them that week - online or in person. We can all remain in community together and hear God's message.
233 Thanksgiving Meals delivered in 2023
233 full dinner Thanksgiving Week Boxes were delivered to Sunny Hill School families in Carpentersville, IL in 2023. These families struggle with food insecurity and financial challenges. We are thrilled to support and encourage these families to an even greater degree in 2024, working together.
In 2023, we reached over 120 individuals per month - over 1,500 total people with needs for food and pantry product support that are hard to find in our community
In July of 2021, we launched a Pop-Up Food Pantry to offer products to individuals that most food pantries have in short supply - paper goods, kitchen products, toiletries and health care products and other pantry staples. We continue to work with other food pantries in the Barrington area to fill in where there are gaps as we launch our 3rd year in 2024.
We served over 5,000 meals to food insecure individuals in our area in 2023. Help us to continue to fill the need and execute even greater impact in 2024!
Let's go!
Over 400 meals per month are served to food insecure families in our Barrington community, including lunches and dinners for the housing insecure through Journeys The Road Home Hope Center and Greencastle of Barrington Assisted Living Facility. We strive to embrace and create great partnerships within our local community.
