Dear Thrive Friends,

 

From our beginning in 2017, Thrive Community Church has strived to be a church worthy of your support. We have never  wavered  from our commitment  to Jesus' Great Commission:

 

• We invite people to Know God. Every weekend, over 250 changed lives gather for worship at one of our 2 worship services.  In 2020 alone, together we made history, keeping steady in serving hundreds as we moved online, to parking lot services and back into our NEW HOME!.

 

• We connect people in groups to Find Freedom. More than 500 people attend one of our many small groups, First and Freedom Conferences. Small groups, which we call Thrive Tribes, are a place where others don't just know your name, but care about what is happening in your life. Freedom Conference is where people can discover and begin to walk as God intended us to be in Christ as He created us.

 

• We lead  people  to Connect to  Purpose. Through  our monthly Next Steps classes, people  discover what  it looks like to follow Jesus, connect to the church, discover their purpose, and then make a difference with their life. This last 12 months more than 75 people participated in this growth process.

 

• We serve together to Make a Difference. Presently more than  78 Go Team positions filled each week. These people have not only discovered  their gifts and passions,  but they are also actively serving others  in a variety  of different ways.

 

As we reflect on what God has done through Thrive in 2022, it's clear that many people's lives have been changed forever. With one prayer at a time, one service at a time, one Thrive Tribe at a time, and one dollar at a time, you have made an eternal difference. Because of your faithful support, we continue to share the vision God has given us.

 

Because of you, we were able to be named “Best Church” of 2020 and 2021, which are two of the most difficult years of our nation in a generation. We continued to build off of this and implement ministry to better serve people affected by this trying season. 

 

Because of you, we were able to have 1 Mission trip to Honduras where we were able to strengthen those who were greatly affected by Covid. Many lives were healed emotionally, physically and encouraged from loss, fear and anxiety.

 

Because of you, we were able to kick off our Thrive Leadership School for spiritual growth and development for our future leaders.

 

Because of you, we were able to bring on a Next Generation Pastor who also serves as our Growth and Development Pastor to better serve our church.

 

Because of you, we were able to have many decisions towards the Journey to Christ.

1. Salvations    70

2. Rededications   20

3. Heart Changes   “Still counting!”

4. Baptisms   53

5. Biblical Counseling Appointments  146

6. Healings   66

7. Prayers Requested and Met  425

 

Because of you, we were able to continue the equipping and training of many Go Team members, who in turn serve you weekly.

 

Because of you, during weekend services, we have served over 9,000 Adults and 2,262 Kids. In 2022 alone over 2,800 Go Team positions have served at Thrive weekend services and events weekends. 

 

Here’s how you can continue to participate in these developments:

This is what Thrive Community Church is all about; taking the love and power of Jesus Christ to people in Henderson County and around the world. I am honored to join with you in the cause that counts.

 

I love being your pastor!
