A Message From

Pastor Mike

The Time Is Now!

Our auditorium is in need of a major upgrade.
We cannot wait any longer!
We need to make these upgrades now.

It Will Take All Of Us Sacrificing Together

The cost of renovating our auditorium is too great for only a few to carry. We must each give our share and do our part. Our church needs your commitment now, like never before. It is time to rise up and meet this urgent need

What Is My Part

Our theme is “Equal Sacrifice, Not Equal Gifts.”
To “sacrifice” means to willingly give the best I have for a greater purpose. While we all cannot give the same amount, we can all sacrifice somehow. This way everyone can have a part. For some, a “sacrificial” gift given over one year may be $1,000. For others, a “sacrifice” may be $10,000. God will impress a specific amount on your heart if you sincerely ask Him to speak to you.

Giving By Faith Is Giving That Pleases God

Giving by faith happens when we decide to give an amount that will require God’s help to fulfill. Our family is making a sacrificial gift. But, instead of worrying, “How can we afford this?” we’re thinking, “We can’t wait to see how God will miraculously provide what we have committed by faith.”

This Is Your Opportunity

…to make a difference with your money.
…to do something that will outlast your life.
…to leave a legacy for your children,
    grandchildren, and future generations.
…to be a part of a miracle!
    There is no greater investment than to invest in God’s
    Kingdom by telling people how Jesus can change lives.
    It deserves our best.

Equal Sacrifice, Not Equal Gifts

“…and we will not neglect the house of our God.” Nehemiah 10:39
