Looking Back
And Ahead
This past year has been filled with significant momentum since the installation of our Lead Pastor, Char Brodersen. We have been creating more accessible and meaningful ways to gather and grow as a community, like incorporating baptisms into Sunday morning gatherings and intentionality to our Courtyard on First Sundays.
We have also been building off of the deep formational work that we accomplished in 2024, as we read and taught through the whole of the Bible thematically in just one year. As we’ve been recentered around God’s love and his Word, we have been pushing further up and further in to our discipleship to Jesus with our studies in the Gospel of Mark.
Our Kids Church introduced an original VBS curriculum for our Kids’ Summer Week, exploring the Mystery of God in the Gospel of Mark, and new women’s and men’s curriculum have been finalized. We look forward to expanded pastoral care appointments and further refurbishment and redesign of our gathering spaces—like the Fellowship Hall and Sunday stage—to foster deeper connection.
Behind the scenes, we’ve focused on building unity and clarity: creating a single website (cccm.com) that houses all our ministries and missionaries, bringing back the Dove as our core visual identity, and aligning branding across Calvary Schools, KWAVE, and more.
Creative efforts like art installations, merch, and a returning coffee cart have brought joy and warmth to our church and our campus.
We introduced the Culture of Goodness to our staff and are looking forward to sharing it with you in this report and emphasizing it for our team leaders, as we work to become a community marked by beauty, goodness, and truth. As we move forward, we continue to work toward a balanced budget, and we want to invite you, as our church family, to help close our annual deficit gap, building together a church that reflects the heart of God in every corner.
From 2024 and into 2025, our church has been in a meaningful season of renewal, alignment, and fresh vision. We’ve embraced the truth that we are both needy and needed—dependent on God’s grace and essential to the work of his kingdom.
You can expect updates throughout the year that share stories, celebrate progress, and highlight the initiatives shaping our community and to receive a report like this each fall as we launch into our ministry year.
