A Word from Pastor AARON
As we find ourselves navigating a new year that will undoubtedly hold its share of ups and downs, I am reminded of Jesus’s words to us in the book of Matthew. “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." - Matthew 6:33
It is this essential call that I am most encouraged in as we have much to celebrate regarding what God is doing in our midst. God continues to transform our lives and our church. God is also enabling us to make a lasting difference in our community, and around the world. All of it is a testimony to your trust in Jesus. In these times God continues to write a story of great faithfulness to all who lift up Jesus. Thank you for being a part of that story God here at Cove Church.
It would be easy to simply look at the statistics listed here as sterile points of data, yet I want us to keep in mind that this data is about people. Real people who have encountered the love of God and expressed that love in genuine and tangible ways. In that, we have so much to rejoice in.
As we look back and remember the “deeds of the Lord”, let us be inspired by the truth that Jesus will most certainly do it again. The future is bright for Cove Church, and for every individual that God longs to reach in Eugene, Lane County, and around the world. Thank you for joining us on that mission.
In Great Love,
Pastor Aaron
