DEAR CHURCH FAMILY & FRIENDS,

What an incredible year 2022 was at the Promise Center.

So many unexpected victories, so many open doors, and so many incredible stories we witnessed. Coming out of the pandemic we have a new focus on our mission to reach the lost, develop the body of Christ and to be leaders in our community for transformation.

As we look back and reflect on all that God did in 2022, I want to take a moment and share the many ways your giving has impacted not only our church family, but also our city, county and the whole world.

During 2022, as people began returning to gathering in person, we discovered there is a newfound hunger for the truth of God’s word and the power of His Spirit!

What God is doing through us is nothing short of miraculous. In a time when our world is in desperate need of hope, you stood in the gap. God is using us in incredible ways to make a difference with our gifts, talents and resources.

It’s such an honor to be your pastor. I’m looking forward to the future together and truly believe the best is yet to come.

ALL IN

We were able to take 7,000 of the 22,000 square foot new building at 1235 N. Dutton, and build out 3 large multi-use classrooms, Next Steps, and multiple meeting rooms for our teams.

We didn’t even know how badly we needed these spaces until we started opening them up for next steps and groups. It has opened so many more doors for ministry opportunities in welcoming environments.

What we are most excited about though, is our remodeled Kids Zone. With our Next Steps moved across to the new building, we were able to add 2,000 square feet and completely reimagine our Kids Zone. We moved from three to six classroom spaces, and now have an incredible worship center. God has provided gifted teachers who love and specialize in teaching our special needs children,

which is growing every weekend. As of today, we serve over 12 children in this tailor-made sensory room. For our third and final stage of the project, we will be redesigning and theming our Kids Zone. We have partnered with an incredible company in Southern California, Plain Joe Studios, who has a faith-based team. They have previously designed for Disney, Universal Studios, The Father’s House, Saddleback Church and many other churches around the country, to build environments of wonder and learning.

We cannot WAIT for you to see the incredible atmosphere we will have to disciple a growing generation.

Since closing on our new building in December, we have been able to complete two of the three initial projects.

PATRICK GRECH

My name is Patrick and this is my story.

My life was riddled with addiction and a criminal record. I felt lost and thought my life had no purpose or meaning beyond anything physical.

My wife, Lindsey, had started going to church and there seemed to be a change in her life, but knowing my past and all my shortcomings, I knew I would never be accepted. My wife convinced me to start attending The Promise Center with her, and everything I thought I knew was turned upside down. After causally attending for a few months and going to a few couples events, I decided to step out in faith and go all in on my relationship with Jesus.

Shortly after, I jumped into serving on the Dream Team and I began to feel a sense of purpose for my life. I no longer felt lost or alone, I found a deep community here and the relationships in my life began to flourish.

Through different groups, I found true freedom and my addictions and past no longer have a hold on me. My life has forever changed. My family is healthier than it has ever been, and I am building a legacy for the future of my family to know the faithfulness of God, and to see what it looks like to be a Godly man pursuing His heart.

I know that God is JUST getting started!
