This past year has been a meaningful season in the life of our church—one marked by faithfulness, steady growth, and deep formation in the Body of Christ!|

God has been present and active, shaping hearts, strengthening disciples, and forming a community rooted in the gospel. As a church, we have continued to proclaim the good news of Jesus and walk alongside people as they take intentional steps of faith. We’ve seen lives changed, relationships deepened, and individuals step into community and service in powerful ways. This has been a season of formation—of deepening roots so that lasting fruit can grow in time.

Our mission remains clear and unchanged. We exist to help people know and follow Jesus step by step. This Annual Report serves as a mile marker along that journey—a reflection of God’s faithfulness and our shared stewardship of what He has entrusted to us.

Within these pages, you’ll find stories, numbers, and ministry updates that represent real people and real work. Each statistic represents a life. Each line item reflects trust. This report exists to celebrate what God has done and to demonstrate accountability in how the resources of this church have been stewarded.

We are deeply grateful for every person who prays, serves, gives, and shows up. Your faithfulness—often expressed in simple, consistent ways—matters more than you know. We remain hopeful—not because of what we can produce, but because God brings the growth, and Jesus is faithfully building His church!

With humility and gratitude,

Pete & Kelly Jankowski

Co-Lead Pastors

Even more meaningful than the numbers is this: every single week, our kids hear the Gospel clearly presented, learning who Jesus is and how much He loves them. We are seeing seeds planted, faith sparked, and families impacted in powerful ways.

We’re celebrating incredible growth in our StudentLife ministry this year! In our middle school ministry, average Sunday attendance grew from 31 students in the first semester to 48 in the second semester.

Our high school ministry also reached a major milestone this year, recording a record attendance of more than 60 high school students in a single gathering.

While the year began slowly for both ministries, momentum built throughout the year. By the second semester, StudentLife reached a combined weekly average of 100 students, and we celebrated as multiple students made the life-changing decision to follow Jesus.

Everyone has a Next Step, and we are dedicated to connecting with anyone who is looking to take that next step. Our team has had hundreds of phone calls discussing giftings, new faith, baptism, finding places to plug in, and sometimes simply encouraging those who are still navigating. Our desire and our absolute joy is being able to walk with people as we all follow Jesus together.

This vision shaped our year and gave language to what God was forming among us. As a Groups ministry, 2025 became a season of deepening health, widening growth, and maturing love as we clarified our purpose and leaned more fully into a transformational, disciple-making community.

Over the past year, 70 active Life Groups opened their lives and homes to 825 adults who gathered weekly for prayer, Scripture, fellowship, and service. Participation swelled, with more than 300 stepping into a small group community for the very first time. Our 100 volunteer group leaders are learning how to become front-line shepherds whose commitment to discipleship and spiritual care is creating spaces where people feel known, welcomed, and supported. Behind the scenes, we also strengthened the infrastructure by training a gifted team of group coaches and welcoming our new Groups Director, Maria Connor. Her leadership has already been a tremendous blessing!

As we look toward the coming year, we aim to make the mission increasingly clear and compelling: to launch healthy new groups, raise spiritually mature leaders, and help every member of our church find an opportunity to belong and become more like Jesus together.

Today was my son, his girlfriend, and my first time there. We made a plan to attend again next week before we left our seats! Wonderful service!

Love the Pastor team at LCB. They are all amazing! Thank you so much for all your time and care. You are all so appreciated

My very first visit today. Wonderful message. I will be back next week!

I appreciate Pastor Pete and the work he allows God to do through him.

I love this church and the way this church family has welcomed me with open arms.

I just wanted to let you know that my family and I attended one of your Christmas services this past weekend, and it was incredible. I was brought to tears during the candlelit song, and I am blown away by your talented worship team. Thank you for this experience. It was our first time at your church, and it was memorable.

Thanks for becoming my new home every Sunday!

LOVE MY CHURCH
