FAITH PROMISE GIVING

75% - Ongoing Ministry Partner Support

75% of our Faith Promise budget goes toward ongoing support of our 56 global ministry partners. This also includes one-time gifts or extra support needed for a variety of situations, such as unexpected medical treatment, emergency travel expenses. This means that we were able to give $425,795 toward our global ministry partners in 2022!

25% - Partner Care & Mobilization

Partner Care & Mobilization is critical to raising up missionaries, keeping our congregation engaged, and providing the spiritual and emotional support required for partners to have longevity on the field. This also goes toward our short-term trip efforts, which incorporate both outreach and service as well as ministry partner care.
