A Path for Your Christian Growth

Opportunities for Fellowship:

Opportunities to Give:
The church’s ministry is supported by the generous contributions of its members to the annual $2 million Operating Budget and the Building Fund.
 
We encourage all Christians to move towards the biblical standard of tithing (giving 1/10 of our income back to God for His work in the world).  If you have not been tithing, will you prayerfully consider giving an additional 1% of your income this year?
 
Special Giving Opportunities:  In addition to the operating and building budgets, a few special offerings are taken throughout the year to help fund special projects.  This year the following offerings/appeals will occur:


February
Lenten “Love Loaf” Campaign for relief projects in Africa and Mexico
