Ministry Plan

Dear Emmanuel Family and Friends,

I hope you have a wonderful Summer! It is a great joy and privilege to partner with you serving Jesus!

Once again, looking back on our 2024-25 ministry and budget year, God gave us a wonderful year! Many came to Christ. Many were added to our church family. Many are being discipled in following Jesus. Many are being touched all over the world through the ministry that flows from Emmanuel. This is largely a result of your faithful and generous investment in Jesus’ Kingdom.

The ministry plan presented below represents hundreds of hours of prayer, planning, and consultation. Our process is robust and our advisors are very skilled and wise. This plan involves the work of about three dozen gifted and devoted people over several months, and it represents the unified hearts of all of our pastors, deacons, finance team, and independent CPA/consulting firm. More importantly, we believe this plan honors Jesus in mission, expresses faith in God’s direction, and demonstrates fiscal responsibility in wise stewardship.

This plan is our best attempt to earnestly and prayerfully press forward in passionate gospel ministry. We celebrate the many ways God is active in our church and our lives.

The purpose of Emmanuel is to “Love God, Grow Together, and Serve Others.” The plan articulated in the graphic below shows our annual budget through the lens of our purpose. As you review it, you will see the percentage allocation of our collective giving as it flows directly into Kingdom initiatives and healthy church ministry, and mission.

Thank you for your faithful generosity to the Kingdom of Jesus through Emmanuel. We are grateful for your investment, and we take the stewardship of your gifts very soberly. As a pastor, I pray often that God will financially bless and increase our church families so that they might willingly and generously bless His gospel purposes through Emmanuel.

We are very excited about the year ahead and all that God is doing!

As always, we are completely approachable! If you have questions, please ask. After you review the plan below, please click the link to continue to the affirmation page.

Blessings to you as you seek first Jesus’ Kingdom!
