Ministry Highlights
What a year it's been!
Whether you've been with Brookside from the start or are just starting to explore faith, we're excited to share the incredible ways God is working here.
This year, we introduced quarterly family celebrations to thank God for His blessings, reflect on our journey, and envision where He's leading us next. These quarterly meetings help everyone stay connected to Brookside's pulse.
