Jesus' Greatness Code calls us to greatness through four pillars of scripture:
Matthew 28:16-20 Jesus invites us to make disciples of all we meet and to teach them all he has commanded. Lovers Lane has a strong heritage of loving ALL people into relationship with Jesus Christ. In 2025, we have proposed a two-tiered budget to maintain our ministry and begin to fulfill our vision for the future.
Matthew 22:36-40 Jesus calls us to love the Lord our God and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Our Essential budget, the first tier, will allow us to meet our baseline needs to continue our great legacy of ministry that teaches people to love God and seeks to serve ALL.
Micah 6:8 Jesus' life and teachings embody the principles of justice, mercy, and humility and call us to live the same way. Our Elevated budget, the second tier, will help us continue growing into these principles by focusing on our Power of One initiatives of Discipleship, Evangelism, and Family Ministry.
Matthew 16:24-26 Jesus commands his disciples to deny ourselves, take up our crosses and follow him. He says we must lose our lives to find our lives. How is God calling you to deny yourself and give so that others may find life?
This year, we celebrate 80 years of ministry together. We invite you to join us as we discover how we can apply the Greatness Code to be a church that continues to serve God for another 80 years and Beyond! As you prayerfully consider how God is calling you to a greatness that honors God, we invite you to include in your prayers how your commitment to give in 2025 is a part of that greatness.
For 80 years, the ministries of Lovers Lane United Methodist Church have been made possible through your giving and the generous members who have come before us. We thank you for stepping out in faith through your financial commitment as we take our first step into the next 80 years of great ministry in God's name.
