2025 Report
We strengthened our community presence this year through daily partnerships right on our property: Run Hard from Saluda Academy using our parking lot and St. Katherine’s Academy learning in classrooms.
Our Fall Festival brought neighbors, school families, and new friends onto the grounds for a joyful, low-pressure day of fun. It was one of our biggest community touchpoints of the year.
We continued to host community meals; including preparing for the December 10 lunch with Saluda River Academy students.
Through the Blessing Box and our support of God’s Helping Hands, we maintained a public witness of compassion.
This year’s Generous Stewardship emphasis shared our church’s story clearly: a community shaped by grace, gratitude, and generosity.
Throughout the year, we practiced evangelism simply by being present; by showing up in schools, celebrating faith formation outside of our worshipping community, and opening our doors whenever we could. The evangelism team invites all to look for opportunities to be God’s people in ways that reach out to our community that surrounds us!
