Vision Investment
We love what we see God doing in our church family.
We continue to hear stories from individuals who are beginning their spiritual journey by putting their trust in what Christ has done for them. It is one of the reasons we are outgrowing our facility.
We believe the limits of our current facility should not limit what God wants to do in our community. That is why we have decided to underwrite the cost of expanding our safe place for even more people in our community to experience God’s grace.
Our lives are being transformed by God’s generosity towards us.
His generosity is inspiring us to be generous towards others. We consider it a privilege to give so others will benefit.
Your gift over the next 24 months will stretch and grow your faith. Jesus assures us that there is nothing to fear when we put God first in our lives. (Matthew 6:25)
How can you determine what your contribution towards NEXT should be?
This is a very personal decision. No one can make that decision for you.
Begin with prayer. Are you willing to listen for God’s direction? Will you trust Him?
Review your own resources. God has given each of us more than we realize. What would a generous and sacrificial contribution look like for you, based on what God has trusted you with?
Educate yourself with “out of the box” options that could increase your contribution.
Once you decide what your monthly commitment to the NEXT initiative will be, you can multiply that amount by 24 to determine your total contribution.
Identify some unnecessary or less important expenses you currently pay for. If you were to reduce or eliminate some of these for 24 months, it could increase your generosity.
You may have some short-term payments that will be paid off soon. Once those obligations are met you could reallocate that amount to the NEXT initiative.
You may anticipate an increase in income or receiving a bonus. You could consider giving a portion of that increase as an investment in the NEXT initiative.
You may have stocks, bonds, or other securities that have appreciated in value. These assets could be included in your commitment. We recommend you speak with your CPA, Tax Attorney, or Financial Advisor when considering this option.
You could give a significant one-time gift.
With God’s help, we will have more space so more people can experience grace. When you have contributed to this expansion you will see every new person walk in to our facility differently. You will see children and students, joyfully learning about God differently. You will realize how God is using your gifts. In moments like that you will experience incredible gratitude.
This is how you can make a difference in our community. God desires to do great things and He is providing an opportunity to do them through us.
We are not asking you to give money to a building. We are asking you to invest in the vision God has given us. We are not asking everyone to give the same amount. We are asking each person/family to make the most generous investment they possibly can over the next 36 months. We are asking for equal sacrifice – not equal giving.
Your gift over the next 36 months will stretch your faith and strengthen your resolve. It is normal to be concerned about how we will manage with less, but Jesus told us that if we “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6:25)
Begin with prayer. It takes courage to listen to God’s direction in your life and faith to take steps.
