Imagine If..
Finish 2025 Strong. Step Into 2026 Ready.
Our year-end giving campaign is designed to help every person take a next step in generosity. Whether you’re giving for the first time, growing in consistent giving, supporting missions through Christmas for Christ, or making a year-end gift above and beyond regular giving—every gift matters.
No gift is too small to impact lives. As we finish 2025 strong, we’re preparing in faith for all God has for us in 2026.
WHY DO WE GIVE?
Generosity is one of the ways God forms us and multiplies ministry through us. Your giving helps us:
- disciple people and strengthen families
- serve needs in our community
- share Christ locally and globally
- prepare for the opportunities God is placing before us in 2026
Imagine if everyone took one next step in generosity and what God could do through our church and our missions partners.
“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” - 2 Corinthians 9:7
Regular Giving
Take Your Next Step in Consistent Generosity
Regular giving fuels the ongoing ministry of our church every week. It helps us serve, disciple, care, and reach people with the gospel in steady, dependable ways.
This is your invitation to take a next step:
- Give for the first time if you’ve never given before.
- Increase your giving if God is leading you to grow.
- Automate your giving (recurring giving) to become a regular giver.
Faithful generosity helps us plan well and respond quickly.
No gift is too small—every step matters.
Christmas for Christ
Our Annual Missions Offering
Christmas for Christ is our annual missions offering, and 100% of every dollar goes directly toward missions. This is one of the clearest ways we partner to fulfill the Great Commission. Our goal this year is $250,000 (once this goal is reached, all gifts will go to regular giving).
When you give, you help:
- support local and regional ministry partners
- strengthen global ministry partnerships
- bring the gospel to people who might never hear otherwise
Every gift matters. Every gift reaches someone.

Year-End Giving
Go Above & Beyond to Finish Strong
Year-end giving is an opportunity to make a one-time gift above and beyond regular giving as God provides. These gifts help us close 2025 with strength and step into 2026 ready.
End-of-year gifts can include:
- cash or check
- stocks or bonds
- other assets or non-cash gifts
Some give to celebrate what God has done in 2025.
Others give to prepare for what God will do in 2026.
However you participate, your generosity is part of changing lives.
