Dear Friends,

At Passion City Church, we’ve always said that we are for God, for people, for the city, and for the world. Looking back over this year, I can say with confidence that this is true.

In January, we hosted Passion 2024 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. We prayed for a move of God as we called on heaven over those days, and I’m still not sure that I have the words to describe all that God did. Heaven met earth in the Benz, and we’ve seen so many Jesus stories emerge from our time together. Passion 2025 in State Farm Arena quickly sold out, and praise God we were able to add a second set of dates for more students to gather together for His name and His renown. Shortly after we will head to South Africa for two more gatherings!

The last few months have flown by. US> Conference was an amazing day of celebrating our incredible Door Holders across all our locations. Through The Grove and SPEAK Conferences that took place in Atlanta, we were able to welcome people from outside our House, encourage them, and send them out to make much of Jesus. On a global scale, we launched powerful new resources out of our House in Passion Equip and SPEAK: Studio! Passion City Church DC moved into our new home at The Lincoln Theatre in September, which allowed us to double our seating capacity, create more space for Passion Kids and bloom, and expand our impact in the heart of Washington, DC.

I also want to shout out the Students team for crushing Passion Camp in Daytona Beach, Florida! It fires me up to see the next generation walking in relationship with the one true King–while having so much fun! All of this and so much more–which you’ll glimpse all throughout these pages–is possible thanks to your generosity. For the countless ways you give, thank you for investing in Passion City Church.

This next season of Above + Beyond is a great opportunity to give above what we normally give so that we can go beyond where we normally go. What a privilege it is to respond to God’s generosity by accepting His invitation to take part in the things that will have an eternal impact.

If there’s anything I’ve learned this year, it’s that God does what He wants, when He wants, how He wants, and through whoever He wants. I’m glad Passion City Church is in step with God’s will, ready to play a part in the story He’s writing.

Thank you for investing your time, resources, and talents into Passion City Church. It is the greatest honor for Shelley and I to serve alongside you.

Gratefully,

Louie
