2025 Annual Review
Foothills Family,
We have so much to praise God for as we bring 2025 to a close! Across all our campuses, we have celebrated 251 baptisms, and we still have another baptism Sunday, this coming week! We don’t take it for granted that we are getting a front row seat to lives being eternally transformed by Jesus. In November, we also shared the vision for 2026 as we launched the Rescue Mission - watch here. While we are excited to see what God does next year, this report is an opportunity for us to pause and thank God for what he did in 2025.
Katie and I are incredibly grateful for the time, talent, and treasure that each of you invested this year. Whether you attend our Seneca, Pendleton, or Iglesia campus - we want to say thank you for being a part of this incredible mission with us. We consider it one of the greatest privileges of our lives to call Foothills our church family!
As you go through the report, understand that each number represents a life that has been changed by God. Psalm 115:1 says, “Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to your name be the glory!”
We’re excited to join the Lord with you in seeing the Rescue Mission continue in 2026!
We love you, Foothills!
Kevin and Katie Robison
RESCUE MISSION
Life is short, and eternity is real. We’ve been talking about this a lot this season. We all have people in our lives who we are praying will be rescued by Jesus. But maybe they live far away, or we have a strained relationship, or maybe right now they’re just not open to our invitation. So, we pray God will use someone else to help them find and follow Jesus; whatever it takes! What if we’re the answer to the prayer being prayed by another person pleading for their rescue. What if Foothills is the place, and you are the someone else God uses to help the next person who walks through the doors at Foothills find and follow Jesus?
That’s why we’re going to be ready, and even steward our resources and gifts to expand our ability to rescue more by launching a Foothills South campus in Northeast Georgia, establishing a permanent location for our Pendleton campus, expanding our ministry reach on the campus of Clemson University, and continuing our partnership with local and regional outreach ministries. Thank you for the way you have faithfully helped us reach the goal to begin our 2026 plans for the Rescue Mission
Iglesia
Foothills
What an exciting year 2025 has been for Iglesia Foothills. We witnessed God move in powerful ways—growing attendance, transformed lives through Jesus, and a strong spirit of service among our people. As we enter 2026, we do so with faith and anticipation as we launch the Rescue Mission. The future looks bright!
Foothills Pendleton
God is moving in clear and exciting ways at our Pendleton Campus, and we’re grateful to be part of what He’s doing. We are reaching 300 people regularly, and we’re seeing that growth turn into real life change. Families are being restored, marriages are strengthening, and our children’s ministry is experiencing incredible momentum. People are finding and following Jesus, and we believe God has positioned our campus exactly where it needs to be to meet individuals and families right where they are. As we look ahead, we’re energized and expectant for all God has in store, especially the Rescue Mission unfolding at Pendleton.

Baptisms
251 found.
Out of all the moments we celebrate at Foothills, nothing is sweeter than watching someone surrender their life to Jesus, and then make that decision public through baptism. We celebrated 251 baptisms at Foothills this year!
CLTR Youth exists to help young people find and follow Jesus and discover how God wants to use them to shape their world. We are here to present the SOLUTION to the questions that this generation is asking. Every Wednesday night, our 7-12 graders gather at our campuses to worship, build community, and dive into God's word to build a stronger relationship with Jesus. In 2025, we served 788 students and saw 43 of those students get baptized. We have seen a 65% increase in attendance which resulted in having to move our Pendleton service to a new location. We are excited about all God is doing in the lives of the next generation.

Outreach
Reaching beyond the walls of Foothills to help people find and follow Jesus continues to be at the core of who we are. We remain committed to partnering with local ministries to care for our neighbors, meeting practical and spiritual needs in areas of food insecurity, foster care support, addiction recovery, and more.
This year, alongside our ongoing outreach partners, we continued to support those who experienced devastation to our north, caused by Hurricane Helene, and to our west, caused by flooding. In an additional partnership with Samaritan’s Purse, Foothills was able to provide blessings through the Operation Christmas Child program. Because of the generosity and faithfulness of our church family, we were able to respond in meaningful ways. Here are some of the ways you showed support:
$88,500 additional dollars given in response to Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina and flooding in Texas.
Nearly 300 shoe boxes packed for Operation Christmas Child
Over 300 volunteers serving in Outreach across all partnerships
Mission team working to help complete two homes destroyed by Hurricane Helene in western NC
