Church of the Messiah UMC

"State of the Church" (Sunday, January 8, 2023)

Episode Summary

2022 was quite a year in the life of Church of the Messiah. Together we built homes and dug wells and shared food and clothing and other resources for those without. We’ve nurtured kids and youth, both here at Messiah and outside the walls of our building. We’ve made space for new and unconnected people to know Jesus. We’ve prayed for and supported those celebrating and struggling. We’ve worshiped our God through transcendent music, relatable preaching, and the proclamation of scripture. Inside this 2022 Report, you’ll see numbers representing the impact of Messiah’s mission and ministries. These numbers matter. They give us a snapshot of Messiah’s health and reach, locally in Westerville and throughout the world. These numbers are also more than numbers. Each has a name - a life impacted. Each has a story. Each represents a person, a family, or a community partner which Church of the Messiah has been blessed to impact through the ways we give of who we are, what we know, and what we have. Thank you for YOUR impact in 2022. I cannot wait to see how we’ll grow together in 2023!
