For where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also.

God is so generous and has given us all we need. He has given us gifts of time, talent & treasure to use for His glory.  What we do with these God given gifts, shows the world where our hearts are at. We want to glorify God with every area of our lives, and that includes what we do with our finances.

Stewardship... PLANNING FOR 2025

Dear Grace of Christ Family,

Why do we give our time, our energy, and our finances, to Grace of Christ?
In a world of great need I am thankful there are good organizations working to remedy the ills of our society.  The question remains, why should we prioritize support for our church?

You will find those who are connected with Grace of Christ serving on community boards, donating to worthy causes, advocating for education, helping care for those in our city and valley … that’s as it should be. Support for our church is a priority because God has given Grace (and other churches) a supernaturally empowered eternal purpose.  Yes, we as a church help alleviate suffering, provide friendship to the friendless, work for justice, safe housing, decent meals … but our higher calling is always eternity.

In his essay The Weight of Glory C.S. Lewis writes, “remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare … All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations … There are no ordinary people.” For us at Grace of Christ there are no “ordinary” people.  Each person is a unique creation of God. Their (ours too) eternity is what ultimately matters.  We care for immediate needs … yes.  We pray for, and work for, eternal needs … absolutely.

Thank you in advance for your continued generosity to Grace.  In the year ahead we will grow in our love for Jesus, and also grow in our service to kids, students, families, people of all ages.  We are a Jesus Church, a Bible church, a praying church, and a serving church, helping those we meet enter into an eternal relationship with the Living God.

Join Church Leadership (Session, Business Management Team & Pastor Curt) to learn about the financial management and ministry needs of the Church as we prepare for 2025.

Our hope is that everyone in our Grace of Christ Family would:

1. MAKE A FAITH COMMITMENT
Whether you are new to giving, or a long-time giver, take time to pray, asking the Lord how He wants you to give of your time, talents and treasures. Then, set a goal of regular, generous and sacrificial giving to the Lord. Please fill out the 2025 Faith Commitment of Giving Card below and bring it to worship on Dedication Sunday, November 24.
       
2. CONSIDER INCREASING YOUR CURRENT COMMITMENT
If you are already a regular giver, please prayerfully consider the Lord’s next step for your sacrificial giving.
       
3. CONSIDER SIGNING UP FOR ONLINE/AUTOMATIC GIVING
This is a convenient and easy way to help balance-out our giving throughout the year.
