23rd Anniversary Celebration
1 / 24
Our church marked its 23rd anniversary with a joyful celebration that looked back with gratitude and stepped forward with a new theme for 2026: moving from “Jesus is the Door of the Sheep” to “Jesus is the Good Shepherd.”
The opening moments started with Praise and Worship with nearly 300 attendees gathered to thank God for His faithfulness and to reaffirm our shared calling as one church family.
A video recap of the past year reminded everyone of what the Lord has carried us through and allowed us to do together. We were also encouraged that there are more to come in 2026, building on the momentum of what has already been planted.
One of the significant moments of the day was welcoming a newly added elder and deacons. The church prayed not only for those newly appointed, but for all Elders and Deacons, asking for wisdom, humility, and faithfulness as they serve and shepherd God’s people.
We also welcomed new members into the church. As they shared in the right hand of fellowship (covenant taking), the congregation was reminded that the church is not just a gathering. It is a family being formed and strengthened by Christ.
The celebration concluded with a sermon centered on our 2026 theme, “The Good Shepherd” (John 10:11–16). We were reminded that Jesus is the Good Shepherd because He lays down His life for the sheep. His sacrifice brings forgiveness and a true sense of belonging to those who were once lost. The message also highlighted the difference between the hired hand and the true Shepherd. The hired hand runs when danger comes, but Christ does not abandon His flock. He knows His sheep personally, and they know Him in return. Their trust runs deep, they belong to Him, and their relationship reflects His unity with the Father.
Finally, we heard Jesus’ promise to gather “other sheep” into one flock. His saving work reaches beyond our circle and unites His people under His rule as one church.
As we move into 2026, we are invited to trust Christ above all human leaders, to know Him deeply through His Word, and to share the gospel with confidence, trusting the Shepherd is already calling His sheep.
