What To Say At A Church Anniversary
What To Say At A Church Anniversary
In order to be a part of our church family, it is important that you know what to expect from us. We do not always have the answers or solutions for every problem that comes along, but we do have each other. We are here for each other as a community of faith; this means we support one another in times of need and celebrate together when good things happen. If you want to join us on this journey together, then bring your whole self! We are not interested in people who only show up once or twice a year or those who show up just because they want something from us. Be honest with yourself before coming here: would you be able to commit fully to participating in worship? Are you willing to give more than just money if needed? Do you think it would be best if you came before making any big decisions about joining (organization)?
It’s hard to believe how quickly (time) has passed since our church first started.
At the beginning of this anniversary, you may feel like it has been forever since your church started. By the end of it, though, you’ll realize that time really does fly when you’re having fun.
Here are some phrases to use in your speech:
- It’s hard to believe how quickly (time) has passed since our church first started.
- The time has passed slowly. (When people say this, they usually mean that they’ve had a good time.)
- The time flew by almost unnoticed! (This usually means that someone was bored.)
I can’t believe it’s been (time) years since this church opened its doors.

I’m so grateful to be here today, celebrating the life and legacy of this church.
The people who come together at this church are a testament to the power of faith in action. They believe that their lives can be changed by their relationship with God. And what an impact they’ve had on every aspect of our community!
Can you think back to that exciting time when the church was founded?
Can you think back to that exciting time when the church was founded?
You and a group of people got together and decided to do something for your community, to help those in need. You saw people suffering around you, so you took action. The church was founded by a small number of people who had a strong desire to serve God by serving others; their love for Christ motivated them and led them on this great journey.
The founding members were able to accomplish miracles because they were united in their faith—they worked together as one body with one spirit, committed to showing God’s love through service.
I remember when the first services for this church were held.
I remember when the first services for this church were held.
The first church building was built in 1889, but it was destroyed by fire in 1915. The church was rebuilt in 1919 and renovated again in 1959 and 2000.
God has blessed us beyond measure over the last (time).
God has blessed us beyond measure over the last (time). He has been with us, working in and through this church, and we thank Him for His Presence.
God is always with us. God is always faithful to His promises to those who love Him and keep His commandments. He does not leave us in our time of need, but provides help when we ask for it. Even when we don’t think that’s what we’re asking for!
God is always good. He knows what’s best for each of us even better than we do ourselves sometimes, so trust Him when things seem hard or confusing instead of giving up hope on yourself or your faith in Him—He has great plans for you!
God has blessed us with a beautiful place for worship and with strong leadership in our pastor and staff.
You are the backbone of this church. You lead our congregation in prayer, worship and devotion. You ensure that we have a place to gather for worship and fellowship. As we celebrate this special occasion, I want to thank you for all that you do for us each week.
I am grateful for God’s blessing on our church, as well as its leadership in Pastor John Smith and his staff members [list names].
With all of these blessings, we have also seen challenges.
- We have seen challenges.
- Challenges can be a good thing, sometimes. They remind us that we need God and that without him, we’re nothing. While these challenges can be difficult, they can also be an opportunity to grow closer in our relationship with Christ and each other. When you take the time to consider what you’re thankful for—the good things in your life—it makes it easier to see beyond any negatives you may experience right now or have experienced in the past.
I remember just a few years ago when we had a roof problem that needed to be fixed immediately.
I remember just a few years ago when we had a roof problem that needed to be fixed immediately. A storm had come through, and the roof was leaking. The damage was extensive and extensive repairs were needed to be made before any more damage could occur. Thankfully, we had a great insurance plan in place that allowed us to get the work done right away so that we could continue worshipping in our church building without interruption.
I’m glad you asked about this because it’s important for people to keep their eyes open for dangerous situations like this one! It can happen anywhere at any time – even at church!
How about (challenge)? But our church family stepped up and built a new playground in one short weekend.
A challenge is a good thing. It’s a way to learn and grow, build relationships and character, and it can help you grow closer to God. So what about (challenge)? But our church family stepped up and built a new playground in one short weekend!
We’ve had tough times, but we’ve also experienced great joys together as well.
We’ve had tough times, but we’ve also experienced great joys together as well. Some of the things that have happened in this church will always be remembered for the impact they made on our community. Other things that have happened may not seem so important when looked at individually, but taken together, it’s clear that God is at work here in many ways and through many people. This church has become a place of respite for those who are seeking peace from the world outside; a place where even strangers feel welcome and loved by people who care about them; a place where individuals can find themselves again after walking through difficult journeys; and most importantly of all: A sanctuary where God’s love is shared freely with everyone who comes here.
As we celebrate another year together, let us look back on our time together with gratitude and hope for what lies ahead—a future filled with faithfulness and love!
Remember when we helped serve hundreds of meals on Christmas day at (location)?
One of the greatest gifts you can give to a congregation is an opportunity to reminisce. You don’t need to be an expert historian, but even if you have only been with the church for a few months, there are likely some stories that will remind your church members of time together.
A great way to start this off is by sharing some of your favorite memories, either from long ago or recent ones! If you’re feeling nervous about sharing something too personal or embarrassing (like accidentally falling asleep during a sermon), consider asking someone else in the congregation who knows your story well enough to tell it on your behalf.
At first glance, this might seem like a tall order—after all, who wants to sit through another lecture about “what we did wrong”? But remember: no one else can tell this story better than those who experienced it firsthand!
In reflecting on our time together, I think about how much love there is in this community.
I want to reflect on our time together, and I think about how much love there is in this community.
Love is the foundation of a relationship between family members. Love is what we feel for friends and community. Love is also at the heart of faith, as we open ourselves to God’s infinite love for us.
Love can be expressed through charity, kindness and generosity — which are all acts that help others in need — but it’s also important to remember that sometimes you need to forgive someone who has hurt you or been unkind toward you. And sometimes people will make mistakes or not understand each other; these moments also require forgiveness — especially if they involve family members!
This is an amazing place full of faithful people who truly care about each other.
This is an amazing place full of faithful people who truly care about each other. You can feel the love in this room. The first time I came here, I felt like everyone knew my name and they were glad to see me. It’s amazing how they take care of each other and make sure everybody gets a chance to say something in worship service. This church is just full of good people!
Churches need to be supported by their communities because they are the backbone of so many people’s lives.
Churches are a place of community, support and prayer. They’re also a place where you can find love and learn about yourself.
Many people have high school or college friends who attend the same church as them. When you go to college or university, it’s hard to make new friends from scratch because everyone will have their own groups already established by the time you arrive on campus.
Churches provide a community for young people who may not yet feel comfortable in their new environments by having activities such as choirs, Bible studies, youth groups and other social events planned throughout the week or month.
Churches are vital to the communities they serve. They provide comfort, help people find their way in life and bring hope when things seem impossible. When you attend a church anniversary service, you can feel the love that’s in this place. So next time you’re at one of these events remember to give your support because it will be rewarded tenfold by all the good work done by those who dedicate themselves to helping others wherever they go!
