Finish With Faith. Step Into the Miracle.
Year-End Christmas Giving Letter
Dear Heritage Family,
As we come to the close of this year, my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude for what God has already done in such a short time. When I stepped into the role of serving as your pastor, I sensed the Holy Spirit whispering that Heritage Church was entering a new season — a season of rising, rebuilding, and revival.
Now I can see it clearly:
God is stirring. God is moving. God is building momentum.
Attendance is climbing.
Giving is increasing.
Hope is returning.
Faith is awakening.
And with great anticipation, we are preparing to launch our 2nd Service in the new year! But even with all of this progress, I believe with all my heart — we haven’t seen anything yet.
Because here is a truth burning in my spirit:
How we finish this year will determine how we step into the next.
If we finish the year in faith, we will enter the new year in momentum.
If we finish with generosity, we will enter with strength.
If we finish with commitment, we will enter with breakthrough.
And Heritage family —this is our moment to step into the miracle God is preparing.
Stepping Into the Miracle
Every miracle in Scripture began the same way:
Someone took a step before they saw the outcome.
The widow poured her last oil.
The disciples handed over five loaves and two fish.
Peter stepped out of the boat before the water held him up.
Faith always moves first.
The miracle moves next.
And that’s where Heritage Church stands today.
God has spoken resurrection over this house — just like Jesus spoke over Lazarus:
“Come forth.”
And now, God invites us to help unwrap that miracle by stepping forward in faith, obedience, and generosity.
A Momentum That Sets the Tone for 2026
Here’s a powerful truth:
A church that ends the year in faith will start the next year in favor.
This is why our Year-End Christmas Giving matters so deeply.
This is why your gift at this moment is so spiritually significant.
Not because of budgets.
Not because of bills.
Not because of pressure.
But because your giving builds momentum that carries into every ministry, every outreach, and every soul we will reach in 2025 and beyond.
Renee and I believe in this so fully that we’ve already personally invested over $20,000 this year toward strengthening the ministry — because we refuse to ask our church to step where we will not lead.
We are all in.
And today, I’m asking you to join us.
The Next Step: Building the Front Door of the Miracle
This has been five weeks of significant capital investment for our church — investments designed to elevate our worship, strengthen our communication, and help us reach more people with excellence.
In addition to the projects ahead, we have already invested substantially in:
• Our new LED wall
which enhances worship, teaching, and communication with clarity and beauty;
• Our new audio/visual system
which brings stability, quality, and consistency to every service and every livestream.
These upgrades were not luxuries — they were investments in our mission, tools that help us present the Gospel with excellence and create an environment where people can encounter Jesus in a fresh, life-changing way.
And now, our Session has unanimously approved two more mission-critical projects:
1. Repairing & Expanding Our Parking Lot
Ensuring every person who drives onto this campus feels safe, seen, and welcomed.
2. Installing a Professional LED Church Sign
Because the first sermon many people hear is the one they see on the sign:
“You are welcome here.”
Together, these new projects total $130K — and we are believing God to provide it through the generosity of His people.
And church… I truly believe He will.
Because where God guides, God provides —and where God resurrects, God resources.
Your Year-End Christmas Opportunity
This year, we are inviting every family to prayerfully give a special Year-End Christmas Gift to Heritage Church by Christmas Day.
We have created a special giving category specifically for this offering:
“Year-End Christmas Gift”
Your gift will help:
Strengthen hospitality
Improve first impressions
Increase community visibility
Support evangelism
Prepare for growth
Enhance worship environments
And continue building a campus that reflects the excellence of the God we serve
In other words:
You’re not giving to a project — you’re giving to a miracle in motion.

Finish With Faith. Start With Momentum.
Heritage family, Renee and I are honored to lead you.
And we believe — without hesitation — that the best days of this church are ahead of us.
But momentum is not automatic.
Miracles are not passive.
Breakthrough is not accidental.
We build it together.
We step into it together.
We rise into it together.**
So before the year ends, would you prayerfully ask the Lord what He would have you give?
Let’s finish this year with faith.
Let’s step into next year with momentum.
Let’s sow into the miracle.
Let’s walk into 2025 with strength, vision, and unity.
Together, let’s build a place where hearts are healed, families are restored, and lives are transformed.
Together, let’s continue becoming…
A Home for Every Heart.
With deep love and great expectation,
Pastor John



I am so excited to see and experience the changes that are coming to Heritage! God and John and Renee have definite plans for Heritage! Blessings are abundant!
