Richmond Hill’s 2022 Annual Report

For Richmond Hill, 2022 was a year of emergence. Following the roller coaster of the pandemic and extensive renovations enabled by our successful $2.75 million capital campaign, in person programming and retreats finally resumed in February. We welcomed RUAH classes, ALP students, and new programming like Clergy, Coffee, and Conversation and Micah’s Principals’ Appreciation Breakfast.

By year’s end, with renovations complete and with COVID protocols largely laid aside, Richmond Hill’s financial picture began to take a more traditional shape. While program revenue had not yet reached pre-pandemic levels, our generous base of supporters responded with a record level of annual fund donations.

However, while settling into the holiday season and looking toward 2023, our Christmas Day crisis hit. With a deluge of water, came a deluge of support. We saw and experienced an outpouring of prayers and support in the following days from you, our Richmond Hill community.

The first half of 2023 has, in turn, been a time of recovery and renewal, and we once again find ourselves amidst construction and transformation. As we await the return to full programming in September, we’ve found an opportunity within the crisis to embark on a strategic planning process to clarify and reimagine the ways we live into our mission — to seek God’s healing of our metropolitan city.

We hope you will continue with us on this journey, and we are so grateful for your support.
