Doing an end of year Christmas offering is an excellent way to build momentum, take initiative, and rally your people for a new year of ministry. Over the past three years of doing a year end campaign, we have been able to:
- Hire an office manager and boost our reserve fund
- Upgrade our worship center and update our children’s ministry
- Fully fund our reserve and free up the budget to hire worship leader, children’s ministry director, and director of operations
In addition, the funds released by doing these campaigns have allowed us to waterproof our basement, repair the roof, and give back to other churches and organizations in the community.
What if while you were waiting for God, God was waiting on you?
To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. – 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12
