GIVE

For GOD so loved the world
HE GAVE his one and only son...

JOHN 3:16

Why we give

God is generous in nature and he calls us to be as well.  What we do with what God has given us reveals our hearts and helps us proclaim the gospel. As a church, we value generosity and commit to being irrationally generous with everything we have. Our goal is to glorify God with every area of our lives, including our finances.

hurricane relief

As a church, we've given funds to the our denomination's Domestic Emergency Relief Fund. This goes to assist EPC churches in disaster areas with identified needs. With the recent destruction of Hurricane Helene and Milton, several EPC churches have been affected. If you feel led, you can give directly and learn more below. You can also give directly to the Red Cross below. Let's continue praying for all affected!

kids & youth center

After spending years dreaming, praying and planning, we built the Kids & Youth Center in 2015, an $8M project we were able to fund because of faithful supporters in our church family. This space been an instrumental tool to help us reach the next generation of Jesus followers, but we are not done paying it off yet! To date, we have a loan balance under $400K (full balance due in November of 2025).  If you want to give a gift towards this, designate your gift towards "Kids & Youth Center" via check, envelope or giving online. We appreciate your above-and-beyond generosity to invest in the next generation!
