Supporting Our Community Through Generosity
Ways to give
Join us in making a meaningful impact.
The Heart of Giving
We believe giving is an act of worship, gratitude, and partnership in the work God is doing through our church and community.
Your generosity helps support ministry, pastoral care, discipleship, outreach programs, and practical assistance for people in need. Every gift, large or small, helps make a difference.
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” — 2 Corinthians 9:7

School Chaplaincy Food Hub
Our school chaplains do an amazing job with our local school children. Part of their ministry is providing breakfast before school starts. You are welcome to drop off goods for these breakfasts at the church. See below for more information and for a list of food items to purchase.

LIST
Additionally, near the end of the year, we also put together Christmas Hampers for families in need. A donation needs list is created by the Chaplains so each hamper can meet the specific needs of the families.
This list will be posted on our Facebook and Instagram closer to the time.
If this is something you would like to donate to, please keep an eye on our pages or contact the Church Office so they can record your interest and send you the list when available.
Leaving a gift in your will
A gift through your Will can help continue the church’s work and ministry for future generations.
If you are considering this, we encourage you to speak with our Pastor or the Eldership team for a confidential conversation.
Thank you for partnering with us in ministry and community care. Your generosity enables us to continue serving people, sharing hope, and demonstrating the love of Christ in practical ways.
