2022 was a year of INCREASE at Riverbank Church. Whether it was in our weekend experience, group engagement, outreach, people serving, or financial giving; we saw an INCREASE in every area. Your heart for this church and the rescue mission led to many taking their first step with God by saying yes to Jesus! Many of those who said yes to Jesus went public with this decision through water baptism. Additionally, hundreds of people took next steps to serve, grow and give!!

Scripture declares the need for Jesus to INCREASE in John 3:30 and you lived this out. I want to thank you for your generosity and obedience over the past year.

As we step into 2023, I believe this will be a year of unprecedented boldness for each of us as we engage in the rescue mission, continuing to help people to take their next step with God. We will pray bold prayers and live bold lives that honor Jesus. We will give of our time, talent, and resources boldly and see results that bring God more glory!!

Thank you so much for your faithfulness and heart for the rescue mission.

Pastor Chris | Proverbs 28:1
“The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions.”
