FAQs

Giving is an act of worship and obedience to God. The Bible teaches us to give cheerfully (2 Cor. 9:7) and to support the work of the church in spreading the Gospel and serving others.

Kingdom Come is a One-Fund Initiative over the next two years. A one-fund is different from a traditional capital campaign, where you are called to give an extra gift above and beyond your normal giving. With this approach, we come together to trust God with a single fund that fuels ministry and missions today while preparing for what He has planned for tomorrow. Other designated gifts (World Missions Offering, local missions, disaster relief, etc.) will not be applied against your commitment. To check your Kingdom Come commitment, click here. You can learn more about Kingdom Come here.
