Northlake Family,
As we step into 2025, we do so with deep gratitude and reflection on
God’s faithfulness over the past year. It is a privilege to share with

significant milestones in both ministry and mission.

the elders and was allocated toward essential facility upgrades,
including the enclosure of the outdoor pavilion, the launch of
Northlake Español, and additional expenses due to inflation-related
increases in utilities, facility upkeep, and improvements.
Total general offering contributions for the year amounted to

in contributions toward the Becoming a City of God building expansion

toward the $8.5 million pledge goal, keeping us on track with our
projected timeline.

On behalf of the elders and our leadership team, I want to express my
deepest appreciation for your faithfulness in giving. Your generosity
reflects one of Northlake’s core values: Generosity fuels Kingdom
activity. Through your giving, countless lives have been transformed
by the hope and love of Christ—both locally and globally.
As we look ahead, we recognize both the opportunities and the
challenges before us. Meeting them will require a united effort and a
steadfast commitment to faithful stewardship. Let us remain steadfast
in honoring the Lord in obedience with our resources, knowing that we
can never outgive Him. The more generous we are collectively, the
greater impact we can make as a church—there is still so much to be
done.
Thank you for your partnership in advancing the mission of Northlake
Church. Together, we are making an eternal impact.
May we never weary of living generously,
Dean Rohne
Elder/Treasurer
