Thank you Canyon Springs!

 

Dear Church Family,

Thank you for continuing to support God’s work through Canyon Springs Church. We are incredibly grateful for your partnership in advancing His Kingdom, and we are excited to share quarterly updates on how your generosity is fueling ministry efforts.

Giving Update:

As of September 2024, our year-to-date giving stands at $483,000, which is $72,000 below our budget of $555,000. Giving has been consistently short of budget throughout the year, and we will need a solid finish to end in the black. With that in mind, we ask that you prayerfully consider making a more significant one-time gift so we can finish the year on solid footing and continue to make a more substantial impact in 2025.

Quarter 3 Highlights:

Q3 was a great quarter for Canyon Springs Church, and we want to celebrate the amazing things God is doing through this community! Check out some of the highlights from the third quarter of 2024:

  • Summer Camps: Our high school and middle school summer camps were a great success, with over 100 kids attending and many coming to faith in Jesus. We are so grateful for the leaders who invested their time and energy into shaping the next generation.
  • Picnic in the Park: In July, we gathered as a church for a community picnic, with 85 people in attendance. It was a great time of fellowship, food, and fun!
  • Baptisms: In August, we celebrated 13 baptisms, marking life-changing moments for these individuals as they publicly declared their faith in Christ.
  • All Hands Sunday: In September, we hosted our first-ever “All Hands Sunday,” where 103 people signed up to serve and be the hands and feet of Jesus in our San Diego community. It was an inspiring day of outreach and service.
  • Women’s Retreat: In September, our Women of Canyon Springs got away for the weekend, and what a fantastic weekend! Forty-seven (47) women descended upon the beautiful city of Carlsbad for Soul Spa Weekend 2024! There was plenty of laughter, fun, food, worship, and lots and lots of Jesus!

A Personal Invitation:

Money talks sometimes feel awkward in church, but they don’t have to be. I’d love to meet with you if you ever want to discuss any questions, beliefs, or hesitancies about giving! I am here to listen, support, and hold space for you in a judgment-free environment. Please feel free to email me at [email protected], and we can arrange a time to chat.

Thank You:

Your giving—whether through tithes, time, or prayers—fuels Canyon Springs Church’s ministries and outreach. We are deeply grateful for your sacrificial contributions, which allow us to continue serving our community and furthering the Kingdom of God.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or feedback. We’re in this together and are excited to see how God will continue to use each of us to make an eternal impact.

With gratitude,
