Because
You Gave
As the nation celebrates today, we also pause 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.
On a day when our nation pauses to celebrate freedom, we are also celebrating transformation. We are celebrating lives changed by Jesus, families touched by compassion, and a church still saying yes to the future God has placed in front 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.

Beyond our walls
Brooklyn was not the boundary.
Generosity moved across borders, strengthened Belize, fueled missions and outreach, and opened doors in places far beyond our primary campuses. The list of countries and regions below reflects known places of impact, while churches helped is a separate measure of partnership support.
From Brooklyn to Belize and beyond.
More than $150K was sown and distributed in the first six months toward missions, missionaries, churches, outreach, and compassionate ministry.
19 countries and regions of known impact.
Below is a visual of known ministry reach. This geographic list is distinct from the separate number of churches helped through partnership and support.
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 — making room through stronger campuses, local presence, global ministry, and greater capacity to host the people He is sending.
Life Center Campus
Seven years of ministry have built momentum, and we are positioning for greater capacity, future expansion, and possible relocation within the next 6–12 months.
Flatlands Campus
Flatlands is undergoing key renovations this summer so the campus can better serve ministry, worship, and community impact.
Long Island Campus
Long Island continues to gather with strength and is preparing to secure a worship space for the fall.
Belize Campus
Belize is growing as a ministry and community hub, creating a stable place for worship, care, outreach, and next-generation impact.
More room for more people.
The Life Center has carried seven years of worship, discipleship, prayer, and transformation. The next chapter requires expanded capacity and the ability to host what God is sending.
Renovating for impact.
Flatlands represents the kind of practical expansion that strengthens ministry during the week and beyond Sunday.
A gathering becoming a home.

A center for ministry.

Outreach with a face.
Children, families, and local outreach remind us that expansion is not about bigger spaces only — it is about greater reach.
We are making room.
Life Center, Flatlands, Long Island, and Belize are different expressions of the same vision: reach more people, strengthen more families, and make God known.
