Ephesians 3: 20-21
20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
We set out to plant Willeo River Church 2 years ago, and are continuing to be blown away by his providence in the life of our church. Time and time again he has shown us that He is in control, and His will for Willeo River to be another light for His gospel presence to shine through His people. We have seen the Lord’s provision in salvation, baptism, new elder, missions partners, a church planter, a permanent location, marriages, new life beginning in our church, and countless stories of families stepping out in faith to do more with their lives and ministry by joining into the fight alongside us.
Every week we end or service by only proclaiming this truth our of Ephesians than God truly can do abundantly more, and our church has been a product of this very Prayer…
BUT!
We believe the work of the Spirit is just beginning! Now that the Lord has Shown that HE WILL BUILD HIS CHURCH, we are ready and expectant for him to use his church to reach our community and the nations. We are at a precious time in our church where we could simply celebrate what the Lord has done and slow down. OR… We could continue to ask more from the Lord and expect His abundance to pour out in a bountiful way. I truly believe that today, the Lords story with Willeo River Church is just beginning. Would you pray and consider supporting the vision the Lord has for us as we enter this new season!
What are we Giving to?
Physical Needs
God has given us the gift of a permanent location off Willeo Rd. In the heart of our community. With that being said, we are standing on the heels of 190 years of faithfulness that laid the ground work before us. While our gathering space has been a huge asset for us, and we have put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears as a church bringing it up to a quality we are proud to steward, there are a few more differed maintenance needs we are praying we can take care of to move forward as a church debt free.
Our needs:
A complete new roof for our church, including reinforced steeple
New HVAC unit for staff offices and future student ministry space
New Monument sign changed over to represent our church
Discipleship & Residency
As our church continues to grow, we want to be able to grow with it. What we mean by this, is our church has the opportunity to do more if others would consider coming alongside. In the last 6 months we have seen the joy of new babies joining into our church, and as any parent knows, children are the greatest blessing, but they take a village to raise, help us continue to dedicate and steward the new lives we have in our church.
In addition, We committing to growing our church in new ways through residency program where we can raise up our next planters, missionaries, elders, staff members, volunteers, and disciples who will continue on the work of ministry here at Willeo River and to the ends of the earth. Would you help us in our foundation year of starting this new ministry directive.

*After a lot of time in prayer and fasting, this is what we believe our current needs are as a church, if the Lord graciously blesses us above our goal, our commitment is to give the rest away in missions, while we know other needs will arise in the future, we will trust the Lord with the future and steward his gifts from today with the work of missions today.*
