Church of the Messiah UMC

State of the Church 2025 Impact Report

Episode Summary

In our “State of the Church” message, Pastor Katy Wheat Borhauer celebrates what God did through Church of the Messiah in 2025 and shares a clear invitation for 2026. From worship and prayer to mission, discipleship, kids/youth ministry, and generosity, the stories and numbers in the 2025 Impact Report point to God’s faithfulness and the Spirit’s power at work among us. Rooted in Romans 10:14–15 and 1 Corinthians 2:1–5, this sermon calls us beyond comfort into “sent” discipleship—sharing good news with courage, humility, and reliance on God’s power. As we look ahead, the question is simple and personal: will we be in prayer for what is next, and will we be willing to get a little uncomfortable for the sake of the gospel?
