“Friends” Launches Sunday!

Don’t miss the official launch of the Friends of North Richmond this Sunday! One of the big things will be the announcement of the results of the Christmas offering. We also will have booths set up for each of the 5 initiatives out on the Plaza by the Baptistry, so you and your friends will be able to stop by and meet each of the volunteer leaders, hear stories and learn more about how you can plug in. This will be a perfect morning to sign up for a spot to be involved! See ya Sunday!

Director for Friends of North Richmond

We are excited to announce the addition of a staff member to the Friends of North Richmond initiative. Becky Watts started at the first of the year as our Friends of North Richmond Director. Becky had been helping our missions pastor, Richard Logan with various aspects of this initiative over the past several months. Richard is grateful to have Becky join him in this work and to now be giving it her full-time attention. Becky brings a love for our local community, and expertise in volunteer coordination among many other skills that will help this initiative maintain it’s momentum, and continue to grow. Richard will continue to oversee the big picture and vision of Friends of North Richmond, and Becky will work closely with the day to day operations.
