Annual Report
We’re excited to share some reflections and celebrations from this past year. Thanks to your continued generosity and commitment to our mission, we finished 2021 financially strong. We could not have done it without your faithfulness and God’s provision.
As you review highlights from last year, we invite you to join us in giving thanks for what God is doing in and through Asbury Church. Your support is vital to our ability to serve God faithfully as a congregation and engage people in relationships where Christ transforms.
Grace and peace,
Pastor Jonathan
We welcome unconditionally

PEOPLE PARTICIPATING IN ALPHA
Even with restrictions in place, we were able to engage in relationships with people through Alpha, where they could explore their faith and ask questions in a safe place. Jesus is changing lives here and we are thrilled to be part of that mission.

LIFEGROUPS
In a season where many people feel more isolated, LifeGroups are more important than ever. Through authentic community, LifeGroups give us a place for us to know Christ more fully, love Him more deeply, and encourage each other to live out our faith daily.
We support families
We were able to partner with families and kids in leading the next generation into life-changing relationships with Jesus. From baptisms, confirmation, and events designed with families in mind, we are honored to come alongside our families to equip them with resources to grow in relationships with God and each other.

Budget Breakdown
Here's how our General Fund Giving breaks down between ministry areas:
Want to be ALL IN for 2022?
As we strive to build up our church and God’s Kingdom, we invite you to join us in being ALL IN this year.
We look forward to seeing what God has in store for us this year.
Our Values
We'll warmly welcome anyone without reservation or judgment, no matter their life stage, faith journey, or socioeconomic status. We believe all people matter to God, so they matter to us.
Believing God’s word requires a response and is essential to our understanding of faith. We work diligently to keep scripture at the center of spiritual growth opportunities at Asbury.
We'll strive to recognize the disconnected in our church body and community, create and resource connection points for them, and strengthen the connections of those who are already engaged..... all because we believe life is meant to be lived in community with others, spurring one another on.
We will emotionally, spiritually, and physically support and strengthen the families in our church community. Equipping them to not only know, understand, and live God at church but to also do so at home, building a strong foundation for future generations.
We strive to invite each person at Asbury into local and global acts of service so that we may have Christ’s servant heart formed in us as we give ourselves away for the sake of others.
We endeavor to embrace generosity in our life together as we invest in the needs and challenges of the local community and our ministry partners around the world. We know generosity changes lives – ours and the people we are serving.
