It’s hard to believe that 2021 is nearly “in the past”. We’ve seen God do some truly miraculous things here at Foothills this year. The growth and life change taking place is remarkable. We continue to serve our community and share the Good News of the Gospel, helping people to find and follow Jesus. The Holy Spirit is our guide, and we believe that God will continue to bless Foothills Church as we follow His lead. 

Liz and I are incredibly grateful for each of you that have given of your time, your talents, and your treasures this year. We are honored to serve alongside you.

As you look through this year’s review, you will see highlights that quantify all the Lord has done but remember that each number represents a person. Let’s pause and celebrate the work of God that took place in 2021. While this year has been incredible, we know that our best days, as a church, are still ahead. We can’t wait to see what God has in store for 2022!
