Annual Fundraising Banquet
March 30, 2026
6:00 PM
Western Avenue Baptist Church
The world around us is filled with darkness, and every day that darkness continues to grow. It threatens to consume our lives, and the lives of those who are most vulnerable, the children. God has called His people, the church, to be a light in the darkness and to illuminate the truth of Christ so others can see it and place their trust in Him. The only way to dispel the darkness is if every Christian shines their light, and passes it on to the next generation to do the same. The children are the church of the future, who will continue to shine the light of Christ and pass it on to others once we are all gone. Will you join us in igniting the light of the next generation?
At our annual fundraising banquet, we will discuss how this is accomplished through our main ministries: Good News Club, Junior Youth Challenge, and Christian Youth in Action. Join us to learn how you can be a part of shining the light of the Gospel to the children in your community.
Doors open at 5:45 PM
Western Avenue Baptist Church: 1206 Museum Rd, Statesville NC 28625
