THE COVE CHURCH ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012 JULY 1, 2011 - JUNE 30, 2012
NOTE FROM MIKE: This has been a wonderful year of learning and preparation for growth. Our staff has spent the last year looking at our mission statement, our strategy, our core values, and how we measure success as a church. We want our growth to be guided by the same principles that we have shared over the last 13 years. We want to be sure that we are all on the same page as we get ready to go, grow, and reach more people for Jesus Christ. Now that we are nearing the end of that phase of soul-searching, we are starting to move forward. Because of our All In project, we were able to launch our North Mecklenburg Campus and upgrade our production capabilities, so that we can live stream services to all of our campuses. This will also allow us to launch our Neighborhood Campuses right after the new year. I am so excited about the direction our church is headed, and that direction is pegged straight to our mission. At The Cove Church, we will Introduce our friends to Jesus, Learn to follow Him, and Celebrate His presence in our lives. Thank you so much for going with us on this mission...

As a church, we prayed for the opportunities that we had in front of us to reach people for Jesus. We trusted that God would provide the resources to make it happen. And, He did! Through the All In project, we ve had the opportunity to launch our North Mecklenburg Campus, gear up technically for our Neighborhood and Online Campuses, work to build 5 homes for child-headed households in Masoyi, South Africa, and provide shoes for kids through a partnership with Samaritan s Feet in Burundi. As a church, we re excited about where God is leading us as we move forward All In together!
