What is Faith Offering?
Every year in December, we come together as a church family to give a sacrificial offering, over and beyond our tithes, so the work of our ministry can continue into the new year and impact even more lives.
This year, our Faith Offering will support four key areas:
Building Fund: To help us reach our next big milestone of £150,000 toward our future home.
2026 Operations and Expansion plans
The Higher Place in Community Projects: To fund outreach and care initiatives that impact lives locally and globally - for example Medical Outreach.
Dartford Mission Space: To develop our mission presence/outreach and create room for more people to encounter Jesus in the Dartford and Gravesend area.
How to Participate
PRAY: Ask God what He would have you give. “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” - Proverbs 16:3 (NIV)
DECIDE: Give intentionally, not reluctantly. “Then each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion” - 2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)
GIVE: Sow generously and trust God. “Remember this: whoever sows generously will also reap generously.” - 2 Corinthians 9:6 (NIV)
Ways to Give
GIVE VIA BIG GIVE - ONE DONATION, TWICE THE IMPACT!
This year we have the incredible opportunity to partner with Big Give so that every pound you give will be doubled. We are blessed to be allocated with match funding that will enable us to raise a total of £31,750 through Big Give.
The campaign will go live on Tuesday, 2nd December and close on Tuesday, 9th December at 12 noon. Within this timeframe, every amount you give through Big Give will be doubled! Read all the details about our Christmas campaign below!
