GIVING
Let’s make a difference together!
You may have heard it said that money follows mission—and we believe that to be fundamentally true. When we have a clear ministry focus shared by the entire congregation coupled with the passion for what God is calling us to be and to do in the world—our ministry has the potential to become contagious. That shared vision and collective passion is what draws people in, stirs hearts and changes lives. The Holy Spirit—working in and through you—is what draws people in, stirs their hearts and changes their lives.
With that in mind, while you have now heard it said that money follows mission, we say to you that our ministry and our hearts must follow passion. As a congregation, we’ve identified that intersection—where our ministry, our hearts and our passion have connected with God’s call for us.
