Dear Awaken Church Family,

We’re asking you to join us in fueling compassion and faith through this year’s ABOVE + BEYOND Initiative. This is an opportunity for us to stretch our faith with radical generosity; to give ABOVE what we normally give to go BEYOND where we normally can go, supporting causes that advance God’s purposes and directly funding the majority of our mission efforts for the upcoming year.

We’re asking you to stretch your faith and make a tangible impact in these two ways:

  1. 1) Give sacrificially to our church’s collective mission so that we can continue to serve, love, and bring hope to people in every corner of our region and the world.

  2. 2) Live out radical generosity in your personal circles of influence — whether a neighbor, coworker, or family member. Let’s let generosity open doors for miracles, embodying our mission to make a difference not only locally but around the world.

We’ll step boldly into this initiative together, trusting God and believing that our generosity can be the catalyst for transforming our region with the love of Jesus.

You can give directly to ABOVE + BEYOND by visiting AWAKENCHURCH.CC/give. Select “ABOVE + BEYOND” (or the designated seasonal offering) from the Fund dropdown. You can also give in-person on Sundays or through the Awaken App with our collective offering for Commitment Sunday on November 21.

With love and gratitude,

Pastor Brandon Bowers

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. — Romans 15:13

FUEL OUR COLLECTIVE CAUSES

We take initiative to generously partner with local, national, and global organizations who are impacting lives all throughout their community. Hear stories and get familiar with our missions partners that we have partnered with in the past and are looking to partner with in the future.

This year’s ABOVE + BEYOND financial goal is $500K. This giving will go towards investing in the work of these missional partnerships, the next generation, and the future expansion of Awaken Church.

YOUR GENEROSITY MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

MISSIONS: $100K

Here are some of the stories of our missions partners who fuel the fire for good —————
Local partnerships allow our church opportunities to serve our city in all areas of our community.
We are committed nationally to partnering with the Strategic Launch Network because we believe we can create the greatest impact by planting churches in influential cities in high unchurched areas all across the country.
We partner globally with Food for the Hungry because of the Child Sponsorship and community restoration projects in Guatemala.

FUTURE EXPANSION: $350K
