2025 - 2026 YEAR END REVIEW
Brookes AUGUST
Lead Pastor
Foundation Family,
In the last year, God has been incredibly good to Foundation Bible Church. When I think about everything that has happened at our church over the last year, I thank God for you. I am reminded of Paul's words in Philippians: "always praying with joy for all of you in my every prayer, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now." (Phil 1:4-5 CSB)
In my prayers, your faces come to mind because the church is not a building, it's a living body of people. God not only worked in our church this year, He worked through our church, using everyone who calls Foundation Bible Church home to reach the Valley with the hope, purpose, and freedom found only in Jesus Christ.
A Growing Body: While our church body is 16 years old, Foundation Bible Church just passed 2 years old in August and since that time we’ve seen numerical growth. In September of 2025 we started two Sunday services because we simply outgrew our single service between our auditorium and our kids ministry.
Radical Generosity: Generosity is becoming one of our defining marks. For the third year in a row, our giving has come in over budget. This is a direct result of your growing generosity and the growth in discipleship around finances at Foundation.
Thank you for helping Foundation Bible Church be a church that is For the Valley!
Pulling for you,
Brookes

The ONE Challenge
In January, our church took on the challenge to pray for one person in their life. We prayed that God would move in that relationship to open doors for gospel conversations, for surrendering their life to Christ, or coming to church for the first time.
"My granddaughter Kayla was the 'One' God impressed upon my heart. After praying specifically for her, she called me out of the blue. I was able to witness to her again about Christ and encourage her in her faith journey. God is working!"

Next Gen Camps & Events
Youth & Students
NextGen Director
"Investing in the next generation isn't just about fun and games—it's about creating an atmosphere where kids and youth experience the gospel, ask real questions, and build a lasting foundation in Christ."
Our first camp where students led worship! When two students lost family on the drive up, the group surrounded them in prayer and encouragement.
More leaders attended than ever before, ensuring intentional discipleship. Leaders played alongside campers in team games and small groups.
Campers connected with international coaches, improved soccer skills, and learned about Jesus during World Cup week.
Wednesday Youth Ministry
Student Leaders"I've loved connecting with middle school girls. Kids want to come back each week to worship and share questions—that's the Holy Spirit at work."
"Seeing how many youth choose to come freely brings me joy! They aren't afraid to be themselves."
