Served 42 kiddos each week

Between Impact Kids at Bristol Elementary, Wednesday Nights, and Sunday service StoryChurch volunteers taught an average of 42 kids each week about the love and hope of Jesus, accumulating hundreds of volunteer hours. 

Fed and supplied 3392 people experiencing homelessness

With our partner ministry More Than A Meal (MTAM) we served thousands of pounds of food, in addition to clothing, supplies, love your neighbor bags and other practical expressions of care. In addition every one of those folks heard about the good news of Jesus. 

Hosted 468 Recovery meetings

StoryChurch is passionate about serving those doing the difficult work of staying sober. There 9 different recovery meetings at StoryChurch almost every day of the week serving all kinds of folks from across Colorado Springs, including the city’s largest Narcotics Anonymous group, AA, CMA, Al Anon, and others. 

Interrupt Gang violence in meaningful ways

With our partner organization Men OF Influence (MOI) we were able to do a number of amazing things. We hosted the MOI Annual Thanksgiving Dinner for the 4th year in a row, and served about 150 people a meal. In addition, we worked weekly with gang leaders and urban influencers to stem the tide of gun-violence in our city and hosted several anti-violence, pro-responsibility rallies. In addition, MOI received an award from United We Stand Up, an anti-violence group based in Los Angeles. 

CHanged Lives

This is what we’re all about. We want to empower ALL people to tell a great story with their lives by helping them understand and embody the hope, value, and purpose they have in Jesus. In other words, nothing compares with a changed life, and we celebrate all that God did at StoryChurch in 2024 in this way and specifically celebrate that in our services we saw over 150 people commit their lives with over a dozen being baptized in 4 services as well. 

Small Groups

In 2024 we increased small group participation significantly. In 2023 we saw that an average of 28% of our congregation was regularly involved in a small group. In 2024 That number doubled to roughly 57% of people experiencing Authentic Community in a small group environment!

Renovations

Because of your giving and commitments to give, we were able to complete nearly 18,000 square feet of renovations this year, including a completely redesigned children’s and student wing in the basement, all of our restrooms, the kitchen, and major technology updates to the sanctuary. 

misc.

Just for fun, we also spent over 8,600 minutes in corporate worship together, sang over 350 songs, partook in  over 4,500 servings of communion, we sent out over 15,000 social media posts, unique text messages, emails, and we had 5,293 video views, 3 summer movie nights, hundreds of pounds of after church BBQ burgers, dogs, and snacks (as well as Nick Kuster’s brisket [yum]) and thousands upon thousands of smiles, laughs, hugs, and high-fives. 

It’s been a great year, and we have YOU to thank!!!!
