Q4 2023 Report (Oct - Dec)
Summary
High attendance at Halloween and Christmas were ministry highlights. Generous Q4 giving placed the church in a stronger financial position than we’ve been in since the pandemic.
Ministry Highlights
Collected 362 toys for our toy drives and distributed them to the Conway Rec Center (St. Paul) and the Salvation Army (Brooklyn Park).
Served 305 people at our Costume Carnival at both campuses. (First time for Brooklyn Park!)
Ministered to 295 people on our Christmas services and Cookies & Craft Fairs.
Baptized 9 adults and dedicated 21 children.
Raised over $3,000 in our Pastor’s Spicy Wing Challenge for Giving Tuesday.
Strong year-end giving increased the church’s savings.
Attendance
Attendance was generally steady, with a slight increase.
Quarterly average: 247
16% higher than last quarter (212). That’s expected because summer attendance dips and Halloween and Christmas boosts this quarter’s average.
10% higher than this time last year (223).
