June Update
Grace and Peace,
I am writing to you with excitement! God continues to lavish us with His grace at Dream Church. As God continues to call us to our mission to "Go share the gospel, make disciples and serve our community."
The first half of the year had many challenges as a new church plant. But God has overshadowed us with many joys. We've experienced new conversions and baptisms and new families visiting. New family members are committing and calling Dream Church their new home, causing us to perpetuate our core values of family, empowerment, diversity, and generosity in and out of our community.
At the top of the year, we held our family meeting sharing our vision and goals for 2022.
To share a few goals, we desire to:
Rent Multi-purpose office space in our community (Springfield). Buy property/land in the Springfield area
Have a Dream Kids and Dream Teen full launch of ministry. Solidify partnerships with local schools in the community
Raise enough financial support to hire a Full-time Vocational Pastor position and part-time staff to help steward God's vision.
This year 2022.
We've watched the Dream Church Kids ministry grow beyond our volunteer base. I guess it's a significant problem to have.
We've started our 2022 Sermon Series in Roman's and still going.
Our Easter gathering was terrific as we served the kids ministry with the gospel, food, games, and the famous bounce house after the gathering.
Almost two years ago, on September 13th, 2020, we launched Dream Church in the Springfield neighborhood of Jacksonville, FL. We did this during a pandemic and unprecedented time with faith and God's leading. By His grace, we continue to go and grow!
We are in need today of your generosity. Our current giving and support for the church's financial needs have sustained us. However, as we move into our second year as a church, we are seeking financial help for the remainder of 2022' with future budget planning for 2023.
This support will help us continue to support our team members, serve our community and expand our reach with the Gospel in Springfield and the region of Jacksonville.
I'm reaching out to you and my church planting community to consider supporting us with a monthly or one-time gift of any size.
God has called us to serve his people. Would you partner with us in this mission?
If you have questions, please reach out, as I would love to answer any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
