SEASON OF GENEROSITY

What is Season of Generosity?

Season of Generosity is an opportunity for our church family to come together to love people and influence our world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through giving and serving.

Throughout the season, we’ll partner with local and global organizations to meet practical needs, support the work they’re doing, and serve people in our community and beyond.

Below, you can learn more about this year’s partners, see how your generosity will be used, and find opportunities to serve.

Serve

There are plenty of ways to serve during this year’s Season of Generosity, and we need 448 volunteers to make it happen! Explore the opportunities available and find a way for you, your family, or your Life Group to serve alongside one of our community partners.

Give

Because of your generosity, we’re able to bless these ministries in our community and around the world! The funds given during the Season of Generosity will continue to support these ministries as part of our Limitless initiative.

Below are the ministries receiving support this year. In addition to meeting these needs, during the month of November, we’ll also be hosting a Stocking-Stuffer Toy Drive for RETA and a Food Drive for The Hub.
