Goshen Church would like to welcome Daniel Bryce Kostenbader born healthy on November 2nd, weighing in at 8lbs & 19” long. Congratulations to the new parents, Bryce & Shayna! To help welcome this new little one we’ve placed a table in the narthex to fill with diapers, wipes and other baby items. Welcome little Daniel!
We're excited to gather together on Wednesday, November 26th! Soup and salad will be available at 5:30pm, followed by Praise and Pie at 6:30pm—a special evening to share our gratitude to God in song and fellowship and enjoy some fantastic pies in the process! Come hungry for gratitude!"
The budget committee is starting to put together the 2026 budget. For any changes, updates, or requests see one of the Deacons.
As we prepare to celebrate the Advent season, we’re looking for individuals or families who would like to participate by doing a Scripture reading and lighting the Advent candle during Sunday services. If you’re interested, please reach out to Adam Vitoulis at [email protected].
The Cadets and Encounter would like to thank everyone who came out to our pancake breakfast. We truly felt your support. We appreciate the opportunity to serve you in this manner.
Just over six years ago our congregation rejoiced at the completion of our wonderful new addition! We were able to expand our greeting and entrance areas, replace and relocate our service elevator indoors, expand our children’s ministry area and nursery and add new bathrooms both on our lower level and on our worship level. Praise God! To accomplish these goals one of our funding models has included our Faith Partners program. Faith Partners are a group of dedicated individuals who have generously committed to making an annual $1000.00 donation to our building fund. With the help of our congregation’s generosity, we have reduced the balance of the outstanding debt to around $48,000. If you are not yet a Faith Partner, please consider joining this effort to assist in paying off this debt in just the next two years. If you are already a Faith Partner, then we want to take this opportunity to both sincerely thank you and to remind you to kindly submit your pledge amount to Henry Vogel or the deacons in the next 8 weeks. Please note that all donations are tax deductible.
