Each year, our church encourages a collective effort to counter the commercialization of Christmas by generously supporting worthy causes for Jesus worldwide. In 2025, we embarked on a journey that would take us through the Bible in 31 weeks by way of The Story - a compelling retelling of the greatest story ever told—God’s Story is Our Story. This year we see God's Story for the World by investing 4 organizations that are making an impact across the world. Illuminations Bible Translation - Making God's Word Accessible to All people by 2033, Children of Faith in India - A Home Where Every Child Matters, Hope of the Nations in Tanzania - A Strategically place Soccer Field & Church Plant, and BiCol Center for Christian Leadership in the Philippines - Church Planting and Sharing the Gospel Globally
We invite you to join us on this Advent conspiracy journey, not only through generous giving but also by faithfully praying for the global work of God in reclaiming the true Christmas narrative. We believe that the most precious gift we can give and receive each year is the hope of a Savior sent to save all of humanity. Will you journey with us?

“Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. He had equal status with God but didn’t think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human!”
- Philippians 2:5-8 (The Message)
