Why Do We Give?

We believe that Jesus calls us to radical generosity, so we give out of the gladness of our hearts. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. Here's how your contribution helps:

  • Supporting Our Ministries

    Your donations enable us to run various programs and ministries that uplift and support individuals and families in our community.

  • Empowering Outreach

    We believe in reaching out to those in need, both locally and globally. Your generosity helps us fund outreach initiatives that provide food, shelter, and hope to those who need it most.

  • Equipping Our Place Of Worship

    Your contributions help maintain our church as a welcoming and safe space for worship, prayer, and community events.
