Kingdom Giving: Gift Weeks 2024
This year's target £120,000
We hold Gift Weeks each year where we ask for gifts to support designated projects that help us to see more lives transformed by Jesus! You can make an immediate donation or pledge an amount to be redeemed at a later date.
Here are are just some of the ways that your giving will be used to make an impact in people's lives for the gospel in 2024.
Our offer has been accepted on a new building for our Southbourne site!
The purchase price of the building is £525k for which we will be obtaining a mortgage.
Along with the funds already designated, we will need to raise additional money for making the building mission ready and able to facilitate our growing church congregation.
We are aiming to move into our new building in the Autumn term!
We want to start to invest in global mission partners.
Our focus will be to raise local church leaders that are pivotal in bringing social transformation to their communities. We also want to come alongside our young people in helping them to get a vision for God’s mission around the world. We are excited about the gospel opportunities to work with great people doing great things in different parts of the earth.
We want to see as many of you at Commission Festival as possible!
The Commission Festival is a significant weekend for us as a church in helping us build our community through deep and long-lasting friendships and connections, worship together and sit under some great teaching as we meet with the other Commission Churches. Through some of the money raised during this Gift Week, we are committing to making this experience as accessible as we can by providing meals and financial assistance to those who require it so that more of us can attend this event.
10% of all funds will be designated for crises situations within our church community.
Over the years we have been able to support a number of individuals and families who find themselves in financial crises. We want to be able to continue to do this whilst being good stewards. of all that God gives us.
