“Charity is a virtue which…when our affections are perfectly ordered…unites us to God…for by it we love Him.”
— Saint Augustine of Hippo
We believe we're called to be a people that strengthen and support individuals and organizations doing Jesus-like work in our city, nation, and around the world.
Month of Generosity exists to celebrate the incredible work of our partners and to give together in Jesus’ name. This month is about giving of ourselves, including our finances, and doing it together.
Discipleship
The practice of Generosity forms us as individuals and invites the things that are close to the heart of God to move closer to our hearts as well. We become aware of where our hearts resist generosity towards God and we’re able to then invite him into that part of our journey.
Partnerships
We give first as an act of worship. Then, we give to strengthen our partners.
Our philosophy of ministry acknowledges that complex issues such as refugee settlement, and addiction, and trauma recovery require expertise. God has raised up organizations with wisdom, experience, and infrastructure to confront these needs.
