Make a kingdom impact with focused giving.
We often comment that we don’t “pass the plate.” Instead, we direct members and attendees to give online or in person as part of the regular financial stewardship. Focused giving is a part of this, and we believe in the power of intentional generosity to transform lives and make a kingdom impact.
Our hope is to spur forward ministry work and godly financial stewardship through presenting these focused gift opportunities to the church body. Our focused giving projects are designed to address specific needs, providing tangible ways for you to make a difference beyond your regular giving.
