“You don’t realize the impact your giving to the local church has had. It’s changed the whole trajectory of my life…”
- Ryan + Theresa Braga
ABOVE + BEYOND is one of my favorite initiatives that we can take on as a church each year! This is where we give above what we normally would give to go beyond where we normally would go.
Through the years, your radical generosity as a church has fueled our tanks for missions, next generation ministries, and expansion as a church family!
This year, we have stepped out in faith and set a radical financial goal of $500,000 dollars. I am confident that as we pray, commit, and sacrificially give together, we'll see this goal met and we'll watch God do immeasurably more than we could ever imagine in the year to come.
So, thank you for trusting in God and believing with me for all that we anticipate God will do!
I love you and thank God for you...
