BRIEFHISTORY

Hey Free People,

Over the past few months we have been processing and celebrating all that happened in 2012.

In order to try and tell the story of all that God did in and through us in our first full year as a church we have put together this small annual report to give you just a sample of the numbers.

I am so proud to your Pastor and have the chance to celebrate these numbers, which are certainly not the whole story but are definitely a story.

Can't wait to see what he will have done by the end of 2013 as we serve him together,
