Giving Ministry

Our goal is to help adults, youth, and children grow in their knowledge of God and their purpose in the Body of Christ. As Ephesians 4:11-12 reminds us, God equips His people for ministry and the edification of His church. Through giving, we honor One Lord, One Faith, and One Baptism, uniting in purpose to serve and uplift others.

We encourage a spirit of generosity through our Giving Ministry, which supports church programs and outreach efforts. Regular donations help us serve our community and further God’s work. Everyone is welcome to grow with us in faith and giving!
