GIVE & GO
Life change isn’t just happening inside the walls of our church. Hundreds of individuals and families are being reached, supported, and transformed both locally and globally. You and your family are invited to join us in our Give and Go Christmas opportunities.
Whether you give, go, or do both, your involvement has a real impact. Together, our generosity builds hope, encourages transformation, and points others to the love of Jesus.
Mark your calendar for Sunday, December 7, and plan to stop by The Hub between 10:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to meet our Global Partners, hear how God is at work around the world, and discover two brand-new opportunities to serve right here in the United States!
