C E L E B R A T I N G
Dear Friends, What an incredible year 2014 has been for Scottsdale Bible! It is evident God’s hand has been upon us and we have much to celebrate. This report captures just a few of the many highlights. Although we’ve shared some fun statistics, what God has done this year is about much more than numbers. Each of these numbers represents a name and a story—and each one matters to God. Together, these numbers represent countless opportunities to experience God’s redemptive, restorative and lifechanging power. Whether by identifying with Christ through baptism, as 40 people did last month, or by volunteering in our community, going on a mission trip, or gathering with friends in a small group—people’s lives are being transformed. I hope you will find this report faith-building and Godexalting. Overall, we want this overview to focus on Him, because He alone is worthy of our service, giving and devotion. I pray it will inspire you to become an even greater part of what God is doing here at Scottsdale Bible. Looking forward with great anticipation to 2015,
Jamie Rasmussen Senior Pastor

As this graph shows, December giving typically represents a significant portion of our church’s annual contributions. To be wise stewards, our budget is shaped to reflect this trend. In order to stay on course for the year, we anticipate receipts of approximately $1.6 million in December tithes and offerings, representing 16% of total annual giving.
