The Story I’ll Tell
What Your Giving Made Possible in 2022
What an incredible year it has been in the life of our church! We’ve witnessed and experienced God doing extraordinary things in people’s lives and in our community. I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating; it is so exciting to be a part of such a beautiful, vibrant community of faith and we wouldn’t be who we are without the service and sacrifice of people like YOU!
We’ve compiled an annual report to give you a glimpse of the connection between your generosity, prayers, and support, and the lives that have been changed this year. I hope you are reminded that God is working in people’s stories here, and he is working through what you give. Thank you for telling the story of Jesus in our community, and thank you for being FOR Gwinnett!
