Elder's Update | December 2025
December 23, 2025by DJ HiebertThe elders met again this past Tuesday for our last meeting of 2025. Much of our prayer time was spent in praise for the year our Lord has given us. We feel an immense privilege to simply be a part of what God is doing through Central. We thanked God for all of those who gave their life to Jesus and also those that were baptised this past year. We are in awe of the growth in all of our campuses, not merely the growth in the number of people attending regularly, but primarily the spiritual growth of our church community. Praise God for all he is doing in His church! May He continue to guide our paths and keep us humble and obedient. read moreCategories: Elders Update -
