2025 Year In Review
A year of growth, faith, impact, and looking ahead
Major Accomplishments
Celebrate progress and thank God, volunteers, partners, and the community.
Over 1,000 families fed
Through our Deacons’ Food Pantry, we have provided food support to more than 1,000 families, serving over 3,000 individuals in our community. Beyond meeting local needs, we also partner with and support neighboring food pantries by sharing resources, food supplies, and guidance—extending our impact well beyond our church walls.
Long Island x Los Angeles
Los Angeles Fire Relief drive hosted in partnership with HITCH Long Island, Babylon Crossfit, and Babylon Rotary.
Growing the Next Generation
This year, we lived out our belief in the next generation through Sunday School, KidZone, and Vacation Bible School which continues to create spaces where children are welcomed, fed, taught, and loved.
Through KidZone, we offered a free Wednesday night program with dinner, a Bible story, and a craft, reminding families they belong here. In Sunday School, children continued to learn about the love and grace of Jesus, laying a strong foundation of faith that will last beyond this year.
