A LETTER FROM OUR

PASTORI pray that this church report finds you well. Let me just say, it is an honor to continue the work of equipping men, women, boys, and girls as they pursue Jesus Christ passionately as they impact the culture. We believe God has been especially generous to our church and we are grateful.

It’s my joy to share with you some specific details from the 2016-2017 ministry year. We are grateful for what the Lord has done and hopeful about what He will do. Your prayers and support continue to make a di�erence. God bless. -Senior Pastor Buster Brown
