The Faith Promise Fund for Missions

Leading up to our Global Impact Celebration each year, we ask every member of our church to pray and ask God what He would have them promise to give, as their part by faith, to reach the world for Christ as He has commanded in Mathew 28:19-20.  This offering is over and above the tithe, and is a faith promise in that we are trusting God to give us the offering.  The Scriptural basis for the offering is found in 1 Cor. 8 & 9 where Paul reminded the Corinthian church to gather the offerings they had promised for the Christians in Jerusalem.  As God then places the fund in our control, we are faithful to give it to the Faith Promise Fund. This fund is used to support our mission outreach locally and around the world.
Currently we support over 20 missionaries and 15 mission projects around the world.
