Generational HopeChristianCenter

Senior Pastor 2012 Annual Report

Praise the Lord! What an amazing year. I look back and can hardly believe that 2012 is already over. With great HOPE, Marcy and I expect God to do great things in the next twelve months.

What has been stirring in my spirit is the message of HOPE. God gave us the name Generational Hope for a reason. First of all, we are called to deliberately invest and impart in the next generation. We have a mandate to bless and release a godly inheritance from generation to generation. Secondly, we are called to bring HOPE to a hopeless and dying world. I realiz HOPE is the only thing stronger than fear. Therefore, we must be a people that not only talk about hope but walk in the HOPE that is ours IN CHRIST.

Below are some scripture and truths that I will be sharing on Sunday mornings over the next couple of months.

“We have joy with our troubles, because we know that these troubles produce patience. And patience produces character, and character produces hope. And this hope wil never disappoint us, because God has poured out his love to fill our hearts.” (Romans 5:3-5 NCV)

“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13)

“Every area of your life that does not glisten with hope means you are believing a lie and that area is a stronghold of the devil in your life.”
Francis Frangipane – Three Battlegrounds.

If I don’t have hope for my future, it means I am believing a lie!

Many people think that the devil is their main enemy, but the greater need in my life and yours is to not focus on the devil, but what we are believing.

The moment we believe truth we get filled now by the God of hope and the evidence that we are getting filled by the God of hope is that it affects our joy and our peace. Steve Backlund says, “Hopelessness is the red light on the dashboard of our lives saying we need to check under the hood and see what we are believing.” My hopelessness is a greater enemy to me than the devil.

The highest level of spiritual warfare is to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ.
I must take my own thoughts captive. I must demolish the lies that are in opposition to God and to truth.

If you have been beaten down to believe that your best days are behind you not in front of you,

YOU ARE BELIEVING A LIE!!!

Your best days are yet ahead of you!

So what do I do? Focus on His promises, and who I am IN CHRIST!

Some of us need to spend a whole season going after lies… going after the root of what is causing me to be hopeless, causing me to feel like I am a victim, causing me to feel powerless, causing me to not understand who I am in Christ and the authority I have in Him.

God has not predestined 2013 to be a bad year. God has not said; I am sick and tired of those people at GHCC, so I am just going to punish them this year.

He poured out all of his punishment on Jesus at the cross.

Colossians 3:1 says, “Since you have been raised to new life IN CHRIST, set your sights on the realities of heaven.”

Looking from God’s viewpoint and knowing who I am IN CHRIST, gives me a much better perspective!

1. In Christ – I am a new creation! 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!”

2. In Christ – I am created to do good works! Ephesians 2:10 “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

3. In Christ – I stand firm! 2 Corinthians 1:21 “Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ.”

4. In Christ – I am free from condemnation! Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”

5. In Christ – I am reconciled to God! Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.”

6. In Christ – I am a son/daughter of God! Galatians 3:26-27 “You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, 27for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed
yourselves with Christ.”

7. In Christ – I am free! Galatians 2:4 “This matter arose because some false brothers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves.”

He who the son sets free is free in deed!

8. In Christ – I always triumph! 2 Corinthians 2:14 “But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him.”

9. In Christ – I am blessed with every spiritual blessing! Ephesians 1:3 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

10. In Christ – I am seated with Him! Ephesians 2:6-7 “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.”

11. In Christ – We are one as a body of believers! Romans 12: 5 “So in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.”

12. In Christ – I have grace, faith and love! 1 Timothy 1: 14 “The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.”

13. In Christ – I am righteous, holy and redeemed! 1 Corinthians 1:30 “It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our
righteousness, holiness and redemption.”

14. In Christ – I have purpose! Philippians 3:13-14 “Brothers,
I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do:
Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on
toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

15. In Christ – I have reason to be joyful, prayerful and thankful! 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Be joyful always; 17pray continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is
God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

16. In Christ – I am Victorious! Romans 8: 37”Overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loves us.”

The key is what Hebrews 12:1, 2 tells us to do.
“Let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us. ² We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from start to finish.”

Only
Jesus can turn…
A mess into a message,
A test into a testimony,
A trial into a triumph,
A victim into a victory!

Jesus is worthy to be praised!

Thank you for the privilege of leading you and this church forward, for the Glory of God!

Women’s Ministry 2012 Annual Report

2012 was an amazing year for the ladies at GHCC, from the women’s retreat, to the Christmas party and everything in between.

I loved learning all of the principles we discovered in, “What to do on the worst day of your life.” It made such a difference in my life as well as many of yours. My eyes have been opened to see life and people with a different perspective. It reminds me of the scripture that says, “When times are good be happy, when times are bad consider, God has made one as well as the other.” Regardless of the situations that may occur in life, God is working it all for our good.

I am grateful to go into 2013 knowing God has graciously given us another year to live, let alone another day and hour. I want us ladies to walk out our days carrying God’s presenc wherever we go, choosing to set our heart on the things above. I want Him to dominate the places our feet touch with His presence, so when others see us, they see God! Remember, when everything around you seems to be crumbling, hurting and causing you to worry, our God is faithful and will be with you through it all. It may not be the way you thought, but be
patient, He will work it out!

You are all beautiful women with so much love, passion and hunger for God. When someone needs a helping hand, you are ready, able and willing to meet the need. I’m excited to see new faces come along and get involved in areas of women’s ministry. I believe the “Reclaimed Conference” is going to be awesome and only a glimpse of what’s to come. Like Pastor Ed says, “Team work makes the dream work!”

Thank you ladies of GHCC, for being willing to serve God and others in all the ways you do.

Blessings,

Marcy Pohlreich

Children’s Ministry Annual Report 2012

We love to see God move in the hearts of the children at GHCC. We desire to see them make a personal decision to serve, trust, and love Him every day. We know that children can make the decision to follow Jesus Christ and never depart from Him. How Amazing!

Our core teaching this year has been to “TRUST IN GOD”. It’s wonderful to know that no matter who you are, how you feel, what people do, what happens to you, or where you are, you can “TRUST IN GOD”.

We are excited to discover the character of God together with the kids of GHCC in 2013. We are ready for another life changing adventure in God’s Kingdom where; Kids Stand Strong for God!

Thank you GHCC for investing in the next generation. We are so blessed by our leadership, teachers, and volunteers and the faithfulness of GHCC. It is because of you that we are able to release the love and hope of God to our children.

We are thankful to God for moving in our church from the youngest to the oldest.

Loving Jesus with you,

Ben and Maralee Rowley
Children’s Pastors

Coffee Cart Ministry Annual Report 2012

Wow what a year. We executed our plan for 2012 “keep it simple” and were delighted to receive a full remodel headed up by Peggy Sue and Kerrianne. We wanted to be able to serve our church body quickly and efficiently. With our new design we have been able to increase the number of church members and guests we can make drinks for. Our team gives a big “THANK YOU” back for our new cart!

We now serve before first service and between services and have never been busier.

Thank you to the entire Coffee Cart team for their dedication to serving coffee and refreshments each Sunday throughout the last year.

Joshua and Maya Mclean joined their parents this year to make it a family team.

Our newest member is Jamie Rowley who joined her Grandparents this year and is a great asset to their team.

First Impressions Ministry (Usher and Greeter Ministry) Annual Report 2012

“Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing, some people have shown hospitality to angels
without knowing it.” Hebrews 13:1-2 (TNIV)

Midway through this last year I was given the honor and the privilege of overseeing our First Impressions ministry, which includes both greeters and ushers. Just
as a pillar bears the weight of a mighty roof, the First Impressions ministry is an essential part of the vision and construct of Generational Hope. As God
directs His people to our church, First Impressions has acted as a visual representation of Christ in the life of those at GHCC. Our greeters and ushers
have reached out and made an impact upon these people by use of the most powerful tools: relationship, love, and fellowship. As such, we have seen the
full fruit of the First Impressionist’s labors in the lives of our new families and attendees.

With this in mind, I hope to see the ministry step into its full calling over this next year! By taking time to conduct quarterly meetings we have been able to instill
a level of ownership in all of those that serve, and we have been able to develop new ways of reaching out to people. The ministry has become, and will
continue to be, less than a simple “Hello” at the door. First Impressions will create a place where people are comfortable, welcome, and ready to receive all
that God has to offer them as His children! Although we are still in a place of growth we strive to fulfill this vision as we love people to Christ. Ultimately
we will walk out the motto: “Each One, Reach One.”

In closing, I would like to offer my most sincere gratitude to all involved in the First Impressions ministry. It is through their commitment to the team that we have
seen the ministry carry on and flourish! They have jumped leaps and bounds beyond the call of duty and have been a concrete example of true leaders and
Disciples of Christ.

Generational Leadership Annual Report 2012

I was watching a show on TV just a couple of weeks ago that asked the question: what has happened to religion in our Nation? Is it relevant anymore? That
statement, sounded frightening. 45 million people have nothing to do with the church, a figure which has doubled since 1990. One out of every three young
people said they are “turned off by organized religion”, feeling that the church is NOT culturally relevant on issues like gay rights and abortion. Questions like: “How can a loving God, throw anyone into hell”, are not being answered. Now I’m watching as our Nation asks what we do about all the killings in our schools. The Oregon Mall shooter,
just before he pulled the trigger, screamed out “I am the shooter”. That should be a hint! Value, worth and identity are being stolen from the hearts of our youth. Does GHCC
have a part to play? What do we do? The answer is quite simple, “we double down”. That’s a gambling term that means “all or nothing”. We pray, invest and get more involved than we ever have before. Isaiah 59:19 tells us what God will do, “When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift upastandard against him “Now it’s our turn. Generational Leadership is a cutting edge ministry of hope for the 21 century. We are not just telling bible stories. We are impacting the heart, answering the questions and speaking “you are our beloved sons and daughters, in whom we are well pleased”. Generational Leadership celebrates 20 years of ministry next year. Has it been worth it? Just a couple of weeks ago, a member of the congregation, with tears in her eyes, pointed out that the platform was filled with musicians, singers, dancers, and Pastor Justin speaking and all were graduates of G.L. Is the next 20 years going to be beyond our expectations? “Sure is! Reformers are in our midst;” thanks to Jesus, all of the GHCC family, to a great staff and interns that continually give to
the dream and the vision and that “does not cast off restraint.”

Loads of Love,

Pastor Tom and Patti Hardebeck

Hand in Hand Preschool Annual Report 2012

“Lord, let those hands be your hands that teach that child, Lord, let those hands be your hands that direct that child to do the right thing, Lord, let those hands be your hands that love that child.” -Katherine McGuire

Hand in Hand Preschool is an outreach ministry of Generational Hope Christian Center to our community. Katherine McGuire is our lead teacher and she is currently enrolled in online
classes for her Child Development associates. Heidi Acker helps assist Katherine in the classroom and finds fulfillment making individual connections with students and families. The curriculums are Christian based and this year we have added a third curriculum to the preschool. The curriculum is modified to teach the children of different ages while also allowing them to learn the same concepts. There are twenty one students and twelve who attend GHCC. Three of the students from the community who didn’t have a home church now
attend GHCC. We are excited and blessed that the preschool enrollments have increased the last three years and look forward to continued growth.

Blessings,

Heidi Acker and Katherine McGuire

Intercessory Prayer Ministry Annual Report 2012

The year of 2012 is now past and looking back we see there has been a continuance of the progression that the Lord is working in the church, His body. The Lord is speaking two words for 2013, faith and fellowship. Faith has two words evidence and substance, evidence of things not seen and substance of things hoped for. (Hebrews 11:1) The other word is fellowship. Relationship is the most important to the Lord and he wants it to be the most important to us. Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and
love your neighbor as yourself. (Deut. 6:5-8, Matthew 22:37-39) He emphasized this when he said the least that you do unto my brethren you have done unto me.
(Matthew 25:34-40) This year the Lord was saying he wants to develop this in us and for us to live in the true substance and evidence of his kingdom. That, as the world falls apart and fear sets in, we will be living in a kingdom that is eternal and the temporal of this world will not pull us into it, but the eternal will pull us up into him. We need not fear but perfect love casts out fear(1 John 4:18) and the Lord said when we see all these things coming to pass look up and rejoice, for the kingdom of God is at hand. (Luke 21:28-31) This is
the area we sense the Lord wants us to pray about throughout 2013.

Our thoughts control our destiny. Think on (meditate on) the word of God in 2013!

Philippians 4:8Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Scriptures to Think about ~Mediate On!

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

Deuteronomy 6:5-8 ⁵Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. ⁶These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. ⁷Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. ⁸Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

Matthew 22:37-39 ³⁷Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ ³⁸This is the first and greatest commandment. ³⁹And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

Matthew 25:34-40 ³⁴“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. ³⁵For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, ³⁶I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ ³⁷“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? ³⁸When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? ³⁹When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ ⁴⁰“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

1 John 4:18 ¹⁸There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Luke 21:28-31 ²⁸When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” ²⁹He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees. ³⁰When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. ³¹Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.

Romans 14:17 ¹⁷For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,

James 1:5 ⁵If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

James 3:17 ¹⁷But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit,
impartial and sincere.

Ephesians 1:7-10 ⁷In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace⁸that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, ⁹he^[^a^] made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, ¹⁰to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

Ephesians 1:15-19 ¹⁵For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, ¹⁶I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. ¹⁷I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit^[^a^] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. ¹⁸I
pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, ¹⁹and his
incomparably great power for us who believe.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 ¹⁶Rejoice always,¹⁷pray continually, ¹⁸give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.¹⁹Do not quench the Spirit. ²⁰Do not treat prophecies with contempt ²¹but test them all; hold on to what is good,²²reject every kind of evil.²³May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁴The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.

Blessings,
Gene and Barbara Hell, Karen Cowen, Debora Sikes and the intercessors.

Life Group Ministry Annual Report 2012

WOW!! 2012 has come and gone, and had so many wonderful things for us at GHCC!! It was a great year for our Life Group Ministry. GHCC continues to see a variety of
groups, teachings and classes happen that are strengthening relationships, families and lives. It is fun to see all of the groups meeting throughout the week, and knowing that great things are happening! I know that our homes, our local coffee shops, and community are blessed by what God is doing through our groups.

I would like to thank all of our Life group facilitators for your support, and willingness to be available in serving our body, and allowing God to use you.

Looking to 2013, my desire is to continue to see real “community” take place amongst us. I long to see these groups grow in numbers, and in impact on people. My desire is to see every person that attends GHCC to be actively involved in a life group, where they will experience true fellowship and freedom.

It is an honor and a joy for us to serve GHCC, and see God’s dreams come alive in this region!!

Seeking Him,

Pastor Justin and Cara Garland

Men’s Ministry Annual Report-2012

The year started out with a great Father/Daughter banquet where both Generational Leadership and the men of the church planned and partnered in the ministry.

We are grateful for Pastor Tom’s keynote address to the dad’s and the daughters and I am sure we will all try to be better dad’s so our daughters have an example
with which they can compare and evaluate the young men who desire to establish relationships with our daughters. We can all improve here.

Thank you Kelsey Lynne Blome for the joyful MC character you always are. We thank the photo team of Josiah Reimers and Michelle Jensen who provide the memory and of
course Kathy Longmire at Lifetime Events Catering for the yummy dinner. The tower of cupcakes and the photos of the dads before they were dads added some
fun to a great night. Thanks young men, music and sound, set up and take down crew and Pastor Justin for all you did to make the event the best ever.

Several men’s breakfasts occurred and the fellowship and words were worth the sacrifice of Saturday mornings. Pastor Justin, Pastor Ryan and I were among those who
delivered encouragements.

We ended the fall season with a men’s retreat where over 65 guys showed up for food, fun, fellowship and firearms, Round 3!!!!!!!!!! What a great shoot out and the best
trap shooter was Steve Hardebeck. But Mason Morrissey took the hand gun TOPSHOT contest away from Dain Carley at the last possible moment. Nice!

Pastor Lon Stokes spoke about how God often uses men who have been wounded to accomplish great things and we all carry some sort of wound from our past.

But what I most remember from his great words was “do what you can, with what you have, where you’re at”. That about sums it up for sharing, caring, and helping,
encouraging, providing and ministering, in my book. I hope it works for all of you as well.

We look forward to a great year ahead, and that golf tournament is getting closer.

MOPS 2012-2013 Annual Report

Our MOPS Vision for
2012-2013 is “A Virtuous Woman…Who Can One Find” Proverbs 31 is our
theme verse this year. Thus far I love the depth and response from our mom’s!
We had (on average) 17 woman in MOPS each week with 38 children in MOPPETS!!!
Our first meeting of the month consists of a guest speaker coming to share on a
specific verse/topic that has transformed their lives. Thus far we have had
someone speak on Motherhood, Faith, and Caring for the orphans…trusting God
with his plans for our lives and families and “smiling at our
future.” We have a time of prayer, question/answer and encouragement at
the end of each meeting and it has been wonderful to see individual woman
respond to the Word as well as see the ladies come together in support for
those difficult times in one another’s lives! Our second Meeting of the month
we have a time of building relationship together as well as do a craft
together! We share a lot of laughter during these meetings! We also have a
Mom’s Night Out the 2nd Tuesday of each month!!! This has been an awesome time
of deepening relationship as well!

We will continue with our
same vision for 2013! We have already added two more ladies to our group in the
month of January! I am looking forward to seeing Gods plans for growth
spiritually and relationally with our entire group of mom’s this year!

Music/Creative
Arts Ministry 2012 Report

We are so thankful for the heart of worship and praise
here at Generational Hope Christian Center and all the happenings of God’s
greatness in 2012. When we think about
God’s faithfulness, revelation and love for our generation it is so exciting to
know in all things God’s works for our good and HIS GOODNESS. Because our
generation is so inundated with false hope through entertainment, music and the
media; how can we but not recognize that our existence is made for worship,
praise and creating an atmosphere of God’s glory in our world. This is so
exciting. Every time we gather for corporate times of worship and praise, here
at Generational Hope, there is an overflowing of God’s HOPE in our lifes, that
He is truly our HOPE and we gather together TO CREATE A BIG TO DO ABOUT OUR GOD
and make Him great in our world! This is so amazing.

Recapping this last year, 2012, what all happened?
Growth in our spiritual life’s, that’s it! In God’s presence there have been no
boundaries or limitations. We pressed for the TRUTH that with God all things
are possible and that there is NO ONE HIGHER OR NO ONE GREATER THAN OUR GOD. We
have and we do live in the absolute answer of TRUTH FOR OUR GENERATION. From every mountain top or valley low God is
God, seated upon the throne and is the GREAT I AM! Absolutely nothing changes
the absolutes of God!

Generational Hope we are blessed to live in such a
time of HOPE in the midst of a generation that is being lied to. We get to
announce the greatness of God to our generation with hearts of worship and
praise. Thank you to all our worship leaders, musicians, singers and dancers,
here at GHCC, who walk and lead in God’s greatness. WE ARE SO BLESSED! Also,
that passion that stirs in our son’s and daughter’s to create a place for God’s
presence and truth is so rewarding. Seeing our young ladies celebrate in dance,
our children create in drama and dance, the generations leading the various
ministries of GHCC in worship and all in all declaring God’s love never fails,
never gives up and never runs out on us.
It’s worth saying again WE ARE SO BLESSED! God’s love looks so beautiful
on each and every one!

HOPE is awakened in us and there is more to come. The
journey is GREAT and GOOD because NO ONE IS LIKE OUR GOD. There is freedom for
each and every person in the midst of HOPE. Let us purpose to sing louder, play
stronger, dance with more freedom, paint more beautifully and recreate all
God’s beautiful glory here in our life’s and world. The one thing that can’t be
taken from us is the way we choose to respond to who God is. The more we know
God the greater will be our celebration of worship and praise! Choose
to know God better this next year!

Blessings and Love you all,

Tim & Kerrianne Gregg

New Heart Ministry 2012 Annual Report

The message we are delivering in our Monday
night meetings is simple and to the point; Jesus is our healer, the giver of
new hearts, and the one who gives us a hope and a future. The leadership is also communicating that a
person doesn’t need to get cleaned up or get their lives straightened out before
they come to Jesus for help. The invitation
is this; come to Jesus. He’ll give you a New Heart with new and right desires
and by His grace and mercy, right order soon follows.

We continue to meet in the sanctuary on
Monday evenings with attendance averaging 35.

June 2012 was our 3^rd annual NHHR
Maple Valley retreat held with our founding group Westgate Chapel. Eleven
people from our New Heart team attended, as well as participated, in leading
worship on Sunday and other events throughout the weekend.

September 2012 was our 3^rd annual
Ladies Prayer Retreat in Winthrop Washington with Westgate Chapel and other
NHHR ministry leaders. The Lord really
showed and for a marvelous weekend where HIS agenda was played out. What an amazing time of refreshing and
resting in the Lord.

November 2012 New Heart helped to
logistically facilitate the GHCC second annual Community Thanksgiving
Dinner. What an amazing time of blessing
our community.

December 2012, New Heart hosted its third
annual Christmas fellowship and gift exchange.
All of the NH families were invited.
We enjoyed a wonderful potluck dinner; everyone shared a word of
Thanksgiving, and gift exchange game. We
all had such a great time.

Throughout the year of 2012 our focus at New
Heart has always been clear and consistent;

Col 3:1-4 Since you’ve repented of your sins
and given the leadership of your life over to Christ, stop focusing on how far
you’ve fallen away from him, and focus on how near He is to you. When we focus
on Christ, He becomes our life.

The New Heart team has seen genuine healing
and recovery take place in many of the attendee’s lives in the array of life
controlling issues. Freedom is theirs.

The focus of this ministry has not been about
trying to recover from drugs or alcohol, but rather focusing on rebuilding and
strengthening a relationship with God, the healer and the giver of new hearts
and right desires.

We rallied together with an amazing
leadership team, being led by God’s Holy Spirit. We pray, as we enter into the
year of 2012, to take a closer look and walk in the shoes of the one who laid
down His life for our freedom from of sin.

The theme for 2012 comes from the writings of
Paul in Romans 1:11, 12. “For I long to visit you so I can bring you some kind
of spiritual gift that will help you grow strong in the Lord. When we get together, I want to encourage you
in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours”.

January 15, 2013, marks our 3^rd
ANNIVERSARY of New Heart Healing and Recovery at GHCC.

Primetimers 2012
Annual Report

Primetimers are a group of seniors/retirees 60 plus years of age who meet on a
monthly basis for the primary purpose of FELLOWSHIP. We regularly meet at
noon on the third Friday of the month in the Annex for a “pot
blessing.” Several times a year we meet at a restaurant (Super
Buffet) or a member’s home. Except for our annual Christmas party we
normally have a speaker (usually from outside the church) share their personal
testimony or if they are involved in ministry, what the Lord is doing in their
ministry.

During the summer we suspended our meetings. At September’s
meeting, instead of a speaker, we all shared about our summer activities,
etc. We ended the year with what is becoming a Primetimer’s tradition and
something we all look forward to – a wonderful Christmas party at the
Gera’s. In 2012, God brought us many wonderful speakers who shared some
GREAT testimonies.

During the spring, GHCC Primetimers coordinated the Lifeline Screening event
for the Maple Valley community.

Sound and
Multi-Media Annual Report 2012

This
has been a great year for the Sound ministry of GHCC. A year of Growth for
sure!! I would like to say thanks’ to
the many volunteers that have helped make this ministry happen! The biggest
highlight for me was to see so many people this year have a desire to learn,
use their gifts, and creativity help make this ministry great. So thank you!

Over
this last year Keith Drury has taken oversight and ownership into this
ministry. His passion for multi-media, audio, and the Lord has shown and
blessed so many of us. This last year we
have been able to release him into serving this ministry further by hiring him
on a part time basis. It has been exciting to see his passions come alive, and
bring assistance to so many of our ministries.

Some of our “other” highlights …

We have a new stage!! Thanks to so many peoples hard work, and
vision we were able to successfully build a stage that complements what we
want to do here technically at GHCC.
Our stage is complete with in stage wiring, stage lighting, and
allows us to be flexible with so many different ministries’ needs.
GHCC was able to invest in some
new gear this year that has helped us stay current, and excellent. Some of
our gear was, new projectors, a complete travel sound system for our tent
services, retreats, and camps, and a new PC, just to name a few.
I continue to be amazed by the quality
and creativity of our Video Announcements! Sean Walker and his team have
been able to create, capture and communicate GHCC’s happenings in a
wonderful way. Thank you again!

In
regards to 2013 we as a ministry are looking to continue to improve and
strengthen what has already been established. With the new gear, stage, and
someone to give it the attention that is needed, our first priority is to build
a solid team to enhance GHCC’s vision over audio and media. As well as the
growth GHCC is undergoing and the expansion of many other ministries a greater
need is being placed upon the media department. Therefore many individuals have
begun to be trained and prepared to handle this growth.

Another
priority of ours is the enhancement of our new gear. As we are quickly becoming
acquainted with the new stage, projectors, and overall gear we are learning how
to more efficiently and productively meet the needs of GHCC; from uploading
greater quality sermons to cleaner and clearer sounding services.

We
are looking forward to the year ahead and all the opportunities that it holds.

“2911”
Young Adults Ministry 2012 Annual Report

2012 was another exciting year for 29eleven
Young Adults. There has been a lot of change and transition this past year with
the 29eleven leadership team, with various key players having children and
getting married, thus needing to take sabbaticals. However, even in the midst of change, 2012 was a good year,
especially with Pastor Ryan taking over the Youth Ministry. Steven and Ryan
both value the importance of aligning the generations and have worked closely
this year to host several youth/young adult joint services called ONE
Generation and various fun nights. We believe that the young adults of GHCC
should be heroes to the youth of GHCC and should set the example of what it
means to unashamedly follow Jesus. We also believe the youth hold great value
for our young adults to learn lessons of what it means to give their life away
and mentor others. Another highlight in 2012 was our Annual Young Adult Retreat
in August at Lake Roosevelt. We had several new people, some who were non-believers,
experience for the first time getting out in God’s creation for a few days,
having fun, building stronger friendships and receiving encouragement in their
walks with Christ. Steven was the
speaker this year and his message focused on Desiring the Presence of God. He
shared from his heart in very practical ways why it’s so vital that the
presence of God is something we recognize as crucial and essential to our
success on our Christian journey. In 2013, we expect to continue the momentum
of partnering with the youth, building relationships and impacting our
community practically with the love of Christ. Our heart’s desire is to follow
God wherever he leads, to obey his voice, to trust him when he closes doors and
also to walk through the doors he opens. We are extremely grateful to the
various individuals who have been a part of our 29eleven leadership team and
for those who have recently stepped up in the past year to serve. We also want
to specifically thank Steve Stratton who has been our worship leader for many
years and has faithfully served our young adults with his heart to honor God
through worship. We could not do what we do without you. Here is to a great 2013!

Frontline Youth
2012 Annual Report

Hello,
Generational Hope!

It
has been a wonderful year in the life of the youth ministry. I feel that the highlight of this year could
be summed up with the word relationship.
I have seen the relationships between the students strengthened as well
as the relationship between the students and myself.

We
were able to hold our first summer camp at Camp Delaney last August. It was an incredible week! God touched all of the students and
staff. The staff and I noticed a huge
shift in the unity of the youth group.
So many of the kids bonded together during camp, it was an invaluable
experience.

We
were able to take part in our first Maple Valley area youth event. We came together in September for the annual
“See You at the Pole Rally” at Maple Valley Presbyterian Church. It was great to see the kids recognize
classmates from other groups as we celebrated standing for Jesus and holding up
our schools in prayer that morning.

I
believe one of the most impacting message series this year has been around the
subject of relationships. Alycia and I
made a point at the start of our courtship, to keep our progress, and what we
are learning through it, in front of the youth group. Along with our testimony, we completed a
series on what healthy relationships between guys and girls looks like and also
had the privilege of having Carrie Abbott, founder of The Legacy Institute, and
come to share her wisdom on the subject.
The response from the youth in the area of relationships has been very
encouraging.

I’m
excited to begin some other dreams in the youth ministry in the coming year,
including a class on the Christian Worldview.
I believe it is important for all Christians, young and old, to have a
firm grasp on why they believe what they believe. I am confident that this class will give our
youth the information and wisdom they need to be able to stand confidently for
Jesus in every arena of life.

Thank
you for your continued prayer and support of our junior high and high school
students! I love you and am expectant
for another year of Jesus performing miracles in the hearts of young people.

Blessings,

Pastor
Ryan Williams
