2014

ANNUAL REPORT
Christ Church

Letter from REV SHANE BISHOP

For me, Horse Trough Sunday typified our 2014 year. We
planned for our annual immersion Sunday, had the horse
troughs brought in and filled, put down the plastic, brought
the towels and then...the Holy Spirit showed up! By the end
of the day, fifty-nine people were baptized for the very first
time and I felt swept up in a Spirit movement of God that was
unforgettable. That seems to be how God works at Christ
Church. We plan, prepare and execute but then our best efforts meet the awesome power of God and something happens beyond anything we could hope or imagine.
I must confess that I really wasnt aware of the incredible year
we were having until last fall. Things never seem to slow down
in my world and when I got our third quarter report concerning new members, professions of faith, baptisms, attendance
and campus numbers, it was clear that we were in the midst
of something really special that God was doing. 2014, simply
put, was the best ministry year in our history and by the time
the financial reports came in, we had a great financial year as
well.
When I look back over these past eighteen years, God has
been faithful to Christ Church and I believe we have been
faithful to God. I must confess that I really dont have a three,
five, and ten year plan for the church anymore. How can you
plan when the world seems to change every minute and a
half? That being said, we will just continue to relentlessly pursue our mission of connecting people with Jesus Christ in
2015 and see where it takes us. To this point, it has taken us
quite a ways.

Glad to be on this journey with you and I cant wait to see what
God is getting ready to do in our lives and in Christ Church!

GOD IS GOOD!
Rev. Shane Bishop
