PLANTED FOR PURPOSE
Join us as we establish SPOT Church in stability and permanence.
Growing Deep Roots
In this season, we celebrate the growth, impact, and transformed lives that we witness within the English Ministry of SPOT Church.
Like a tree planted by streams of water, we are on a journey to establish permanent roots for our community to grow spiritually, expand regionally, and impact future generations with the transformative power of God's word. We invite those that support this mission to join us.
Attend the 2026 Fundraising Gala
