Make a Difference 150

150 acts of Kindness, Encouragement, and Witness from October 2024 through October 2025, in celebration of the church's 150-year anniversary.

We are thrilled to announce “Difference 150,” a special initiative to celebrate our church’s 150th anniversary in October 2025.

For 150 years, our church has been a beacon of hope, faith, and service in the Sterling community. To honor this legacy, we invite you to join us in making a difference—150 times over! From October 2024 to October 2025, we challenge each member and friend of our church to perform at least 150 acts of Kindness, Encouragement, and Witness.

These acts, big or small, will collectively demonstrate the impact of our faith in action and celebrate our continued commitment to serving our community.
