Global Impact represents our missions efforts here and around the world. It’s a funding tool to help us resource the Great Commission that Jesus talked about, so we can reach THE ONE in our community, in our nation and around the world.
This gives us the opportunity to support key missionaries and projects outside of the United States in order to reach thousands of people for Jesus in other nations throughout the world. We want THE ONE in every nation to hear the good news of the gospel.
We also want to make a difference in the lives of THE ONE in our own nation. We do that by planting churches, expanding our campus ministry capacity and ministering to those in our city and community.
One of our values is to multiply our influence in children and youth. We want to invest in young Christian leaders and equip them to also reach THE ONE who is disconnected from God.
We believe that it’s important to participate in “obedient giving” as described in the Bible. This involves returning to God the first 10% of our income called the “tithe.” The tithe is used to support our day-to-day operations and ministries at our church.
We also believe it’s important to participate in “generous giving.” This is giving over and above the tithe. Generous giving is what funds our Global Impact partners and projects in our nation and around the world.
As we participate with both obedient giving and generous giving, God not only blesses us but our church as well, as multitudes around the world are transformed!
