Giving at Church at the Cross
GIVE TO THE MISSION
“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you by His poverty might become rich.”
Every Advent season we receive a special offering known as our Advent Offering. This special offering goes to two endeavors. First, we supply our Mercy Fund through the Advent Offering. The Mercy Fund is used for benevolence needs that arise in our community. Many people have benefited from this fund, and it is a tangible way for us to show the mercy of Jesus to others. We also provide professional counseling services to our members through that fund as the need arises.
Second, we give to international church planting through the International Mission Board. This offering has traditionally been called “the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.” Lottie Moon was a missionary to China from 1873 – 1912 and was used greatly in the missions movement of her day. These funds help send and strengthen fully-supported missionaries with the International Mission Board working among the least reached peoples on the planet. Your gifts will help make a real difference in sharing the message and mercy of Christ at home and around the world.
WHY GIVE?
Our God is a God of Radical Generosity. Radical generosity is generosity that flows from an encounter with this radically generous God we meet in the gospel of Jesus Christ. When the gospel takes root in our lives, it becomes the story that shapes, informs, and defines the decisions and direction of our lives. So, just like Christ, we gladly become poor, giving sacrificially of our lives to enrich the lives of others. Just as our Savior poured himself out to rescue and enrich our lives, so we would pour out our lives to rescue and enrich the lives of others – not just friends and family, but even those who are removed from us.
