Beginning in June of 2023, Generations Church and Columbia Life Church began discussing the possibility of a merge. Our two congregations have a shared history, similar DNA, and stand in the same tradition. By consolidating our resources, we hoped to increase our momentum and scope of reach, improve our infrastructure, sustainability, and overall quality of ministry.
So, after a couple of months of dialogue, gathering together, earnest prayer, and discernment, both churches unanimously voted to move ahead with a merger. We have asked for the Lord's will, and for us to come to a unanimous decision was both a humbling and encouraging sign of God’s grace at work among us.
We are now beginning the work of implementing this outcome. We will revisit our vision, mission, and values, and by mid-September evaluate a name that is in keeping with our mission. Stay tuned and be in prayer as we begin to lay out next steps for our immediate and long-term future.
To God alone be the glory!
