We had a great time at our Members’ Meeting and Annual Conference on September 25th. We shared stories of people and places encountering Jesus. We celebrated some exciting updates from our ministries of how God is using CATC in the lives of our people, our community, and around the country. And we spent time thanking God through prayer and worship for all the good gifts he has given.
Below is a summary of our ministries’ activities from 2021-2022.
Above is a snippet of Debbie Fogle’s story about hosting Griset and Chineli, a family from Cuba, in her home for the past two years through Dash Network. At our Members’ Meeting, we had the privilege of hearing Debbie talk about her work with international people. It was amazing to hear how God is using her to reach people from all around the world through different organizations right here in DFW.

2022-2023 BUDGET
This budget represents many hours of prayer, discussion and preparation. Dozens of people have been involved in the budget preparation process, including both staff and volunteers, all under the direction of our Finance Team. We take budget preparation very seriously because it guides our ministry focus over the coming year.
This brochure was designed to inform and inspire you regarding our many ministries, all of which are dependent on your generous giving. More importantly, we want you, our financial partners, to see how your gifts are changing lives in our community and around the world.
We have included a FAQ section in this brochure. If you have other questions regarding our budget, financial procedures or giving options, please contact our church office. Thanks again for your continued financial support of our ministries. May the Lord richly bless you.
