Hey Collective!

One of the verses you will hear me share throughout the year comes from Ephesians 3:20. It says, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us” and in 2025, God did exactly as he promised.

It 2025, we donated more food than ever, we set new attendance records, and we celebrated hundreds of people taking steps in their faith! It was amazing and none of this would have been possible without you trusting God with your finances and giving so generously.

So thank you. Thank you for trusting God with your finances. Thank you for sacrificing so other people can experience God, find community, and do something that matters. Thank you for truly being the church.

-Michael Bartlett (Lead Pastor of Collective Church)

For the third time in five years, we outgrew our space so we had to renovate! Thanks to the generosity of our leaders and top givers, we were able to open "The Block”, a space specially designed for the teenagers at Collective.

*This is the last renovation at Pegasus Court. I think*

We celebrated 78 baptisms last year, including our 300th as a church. This included students baptizing their parents, parents baptizing their kids, and friends baptizing their friends.

We had over 1550 first and second-time guests!

Collective Kids averaged 206 kids a week!

Youth Collective averaged 60 middle and high school students meeting throughout the week!

Our Team grew by 88 people! This matters so much because, at Collective, our team growing is a lead measure. Team growth leads to more baptisms, more generosity, and more impact in our city.

We collected and donated 30,000 lbs of food, 11,200 hygiene products, and over 1,200 toys to our local partners.

For Frederick Week continued to grow and we served over 1700 hours at 30 service projects that week!

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. The best is yet to come!
