Because
You Gave
As we enter July and look back over the first half of 2026, we are pausing to celebrate what God has done through a church that kept praying, serving, giving, showing up, and making room for more people to encounter Jesus.
This is not simply a report. It is a thank-you. Every number represents a person, every story represents grace, and every act of generosity helped make ministry possible.
A word from our pastor
We did this together.
Purpose Life family, the first half of 2026 has been filled with unmistakable evidence of God's faithfulness. People came alive. Families were strengthened. Children were served. Leaders were developed. Communities were reached. The mission kept moving.
And none of this happened because of one person. It happened because a church decided that everyone is necessary. Some prayed. Some served. Some gave. Some opened doors. Some held ground when it was not easy. But together, we watched God multiply every yes.
As we begin the second half of the year, we are taking time to celebrate transformation, honor generosity, and remember that the future God has placed in front of us will require all of us.
Thank you for building with us. The story is not over. The second half needs all of us.
Life change
The numbers tell a story.
These are not just analytics. These are people finding hope, making decisions, taking next steps, and discovering that they belong in the purpose of God.
66 public declarations.
Baptism after baptism reminded us that Jesus is still changing lives in visible ways.
2,035 first-time guests.
Every welcome mattered. Every seat mattered. Every invitation mattered.
288 decisions.
People made one of the most important decisions of their lives.
Growth and discipleship
Faith moved from attendance to formation.
The first half of the year was not only about full rooms. It was about deeper roots, stronger rhythms, and people taking responsibility for spiritual growth.
Bible Study + Formation
Belonging + Community
Serving + Ownership
Serving our city
Compassion had a distribution point.
Because you gave, the mission reached beyond weekend worship. Families were fed, shut-ins were visited, neighborhoods were engaged, and outreach continued across New York City, Long Island, and Belize.
Through the pantry alone, approximately 350 families every week were served across 26 weeks. That represents roughly 36,400 people reached and more than 318,000 pounds of food distributed to households in need.
Digital reach
The message kept moving.
The mission did not stop at the room. Through the PLC app and digital media, people continued to listen, watch, replay, and stay connected throughout the week.

Depth of Attention
Beyond our walls
Brooklyn was not the boundary.
Generosity moved across borders, supported churches and missionaries, strengthened Belize, and helped extend the reach of Purpose Life Church into new places.
Hundreds of children served in Belize.
School supplies and support became a visible reminder that the mission reaches the next generation.
14 countries impacted. Dozens of churches helped.
Moments that mattered
What a year already.
From spiritual warfare training to original songs birthed in worship, the first half of 2026 became a living testimony of a church being transformed.
We gathered through heating challenges, launched our first Saturday prayer, and watched hundreds join the daily 6AM fast.
Vision boards, Bible studies, LifeGroups, fasting initiatives, and discipleship rhythms helped people grow deep and live strong.
Winter outreaches, house visits for shut-ins, Long Island meetups, community engagements, and pantry ministry kept compassion moving.
Fresh Oil women were mentored, Kingsmen went all-in, youth took over, children were discipled, babies were christened, and families were strengthened.
Palms were waved, flags were lifted, declarations were made, worship nights were hosted, and original songs rose out of prayer and fasting.
Positioned for the second half
A time of expansion.
As we celebrate seven years at the Life Center Campus, we are also preparing for the future God is opening in front of us.
Life Center

Generosity snapshot
You funded more than expenses. You advanced the mission.
When partners give, people are reached, ministry is strengthened, and the church is positioned to respond to what God is doing next.

Why It Matters
The second half starts now
We can't do it without you.
Because you gave, we can celebrate what God has done. Because we continue together, more people will be reached, more families will be strengthened, more children will be served, and more lives will be transformed.
