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.

You also have the option online to make giving easier by setting up recurring giving.

We would ask you to consider automating your giving or setting up recurring gifts. You can do this through giving online and using our SecureGive platform to set up recurring gifts and/or fill out an ACH form to set up automatic giving through your bank.

Automated giving allows us to do ministry with confidence that we can fund it, AND helps every giver be consistent and faithful in their commitment to be generous and support the ministry of Fair Oaks!

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!
