Hello to everyone!
Welcome to our staff AGM reports.
As you click on the different links and read through the reports submitted by our staff team, I want to say thank you for being interested in this aspect of our church governance.
Each year we submit our reports to church members and adherents. We write these reports for a few reasons.
It is great to hear some of the stories about what God has done throughout the year.
It is a great way to see some of the spiritual results coming through the ministry of our staff and volunteers.
It is a form of accountability between us as paid staff and yourself as a church member. Although staff are not accountable to church members in a direct sense throughout the year, once a year, at our AGM, the members get a chance to hear about our work. It is an opportunity for you as members to ask questions and think more deeply about what we are doing in each area of ministry. If you have any questions that arise out of these reports, please don’t hesitate to email our staff. I know that they would be happy to help answer your questions.
I say it often, but Hillcrest is a great church to serve the Lord in. What makes serving here such a great experience is the love and care that all of you show toward your pastors and staff. You are a great congregation! You serve willingly and faithfully along with us, and you are always there to encourage us along the way!
I can’t thank you enough for how kind you are toward us, and for all of the encouragement and prayers. We need you, and we love to serve both the Lord, and you, as we minister together in our city and in our world.
In His Grip,
Pastor Steve Pahl
