As 2025 draws to a close, we pause to reflect with profound gratitude on the past year. Thank you. Your faithfulness, generosity, and commitment fueled our shared mission in New York City and beyond.
Generous living is a cornerstone of the Christian life, and it’s how we practically demonstrate our belief in and gratitude for God’s provision.
Every gift given is an investment in the spiritual flourishing of our city—a direct response to the call to live out the Gospel. God gave each of us our lives, resources, time, spiritual gifts, and relational capital. They are planted now to see a harvest of kingdom change in the future. As the Apostle Paul states, “For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you” (2 Corinthians 9:10, NLT).
If you are considering your year-end giving, please remember that all contributions must be received or postmarked by Wednesday, December 31, to be credited for the 2025 tax year. Thank you again for partnering with us in this glorious work. We look forward to pursuing Christ’s mission with you in 2026!
Grace and Peace,
Drew

We are looking for leaders and hosts to help start a new cycle of Pilot Community Groups in 2026!
Pilot Community Groups are brand-new Community Groups (CGs) that commit to meeting for a minimum of seven weeks for the purpose of building gospel community. Pilot Community Groups are especially designed for people new to RWS or who have never joined a CG. Like ongoing CGs, they bring people together for Bible discussion, prayer, fellowship, and mutual encouragement to live out the Christian faith.
