A Christmas Gift

Our prayer for this special offering is to impact our community and church in ways that you or I could never accomplish alone, but together we will make a huge difference.


In the Book of Acts, Paul collects and delivers a special offering for the Church in Jerusalem, from numerous churches willing to participate through their generosity.  The gift was given out of their love for God's people and God's work.  Throughout the years, since that first church in Acts, special offerings have blessed both the giver and the recipient.


THIS IS THE WAY OF THE CHURCH.


Any gifts above our set goal of $3,000.00 will be used to augment our Children's programing & Middle/High School ministry.
