GIVE
Give Generously
One of our core values at Believers is generosity; we believe that we can’t out-give God!
Believers is a member/attender-supported church and any monies that are given here, go to support our mission of making Jesus #1,
one person at a time. When you give to Believers, you make a difference in our community and around the world! Thank you for investing
in eternity.
THE GIFT
Purpose of The Gift:
Christmas is the season of giving, and Believers is a Church on the give! Each year we have a giving initiative called “The Gift” that allows us to show the generous heart of God to our community by funding projects that make a difference in the lives of people in our community and around the world.
Funding of The Gift: Our goal is to have 100% participation from the Believers Church family. Everyone can give something, and every gift makes a difference. We ask that those who call Believers home give over and above their regular giving to the gift. These projects fall outside our regular budget. We encourage families to scale back the materialism of this season to make room for giving to causes that will make an eternal difference.
During the month of December, online gifts can be designated to “The Gift.” Gifts given on campus using the Giving Envelope can be designated for The Gift or that can be put in the memo of any check given. 100% of funds designated to The Gift will be used to fund the giving initiatives. Anything that comes in over the goal will be used to fund the ministry budget of Believers church.
The Gift Goal: $100,000
The Gift Initiatives:
$50,000 Operation Blessing. $35,000 of these funds will be used for disaster relief to offer continued support to families in Western North Carolina that were devastated by hurricane Helene. $15,000 hunger relief for “displaced” students and their families at our partner schools in Suffolk.
$30,000 NextGen Camp Experience. What is the faith of the next generation worth? It’s worth everything. This investment will help to make a life-changing camp experience accessible to more families. We know that 83% of Christians made that commitment to follow Jesus between the ages of 4 and 14. This is an investment that is guaranteed to give a huge return!
$20,000 Local Partners.
$10,000 Freekind. Helping 10 survivors of sex-trafficking begin long-term restorative programs. This includes supporting clients through the application and acceptance process, providing transitional items (food, clothing, etc.) and transportation for the survivor and trained advocate to accompany them to the program.
$5,000 Oasis Social Ministry. Replace the AC unit on the refrigerated food truck that is essential in the mission of Oasis in providing food to the community.
$5,000 CAPS – Walmart gift cards to help families in need get groceries and clothing/shoes
