Hey Collective!
One of my favorite things to do is share with you all of the incredible things God did in the previous year. It was another one for the record books as we donated more food than ever, we set records in attendance, and we celebrated more people than ever taking steps in their faith than any previous year! It was amazing and none of this would have been possible without you trusting God with your finances and giving so generously. Everything we are celebrating from 2024, you can say, “I got to be a part of that.”
So thank you. Thank you for sacrificing so other people can bump into Jesus. Thank you for helping Collective truly be a church for the rest of us. Thank you for being for Frederick.
The pictures below are just a few of the highlights of the past year. Please check them out and know that none of it would be possible without your generosity.

We started the year by renovating our Auditorium to create more space for people to experience Jesus and be a part of our church and God showed up in huge ways!
We celebrated 65 baptisms last year, including our 200th as a church.
We had over 1400 first and second-time guests!
We started the year averaging 136 kids a week in Collective Kids and we ended the year averaging 212.
Youth Collective doubled in size from Spring to Fall!
Our Team grew by over 100 people!
We added a third Sunday morning service.
We collected and donated over 30,000 lbs of food, over 11,000 hygiene products, and over 1,000 toys to our local partners.
We gave away over $100,000 in support of church planting, helping people get mental health support, and meeting needs in our community.
We saw marriages healed, addictions overcome, and community built. We saw people grow in their trust in Jesus. We saw people come back to faith in Jesus. And we saw people who never believed in Jesus, put their faith in him. It truly was an incredible year and we can’t wait to see what God has in store for us next. 2025, here we come!
