Carla Wilson, a long-time parishioner and co-executive director of the Steadfast Campaign, addresses the congregation with a heartfelt message about the church’s two-year unified budget initiative. She introduces the campaign’s core goals: roof and boiler repairs, balancing the budget, and kingdom-building as summarized by the acronym RBK, with a collective fundraising goal of $3 million. Acknowledging current economic hardships, she emphasizes the church's steadfast role as a place of hope and community. Carla shares her personal struggle with sacrificial giving, shaped by childhood financial insecurity, and encourages others to step out in faith. She invites members to engage through campaign booklets, adult forums, and upcoming commitment events, and closes by thanking church leaders for their dedication and vision.
