BENEVOLENCE
Assessing needs, distributing help, through the generosity you give.About Benevolence
Benevolence is one of the ways we live out generosity as a church family. Through the tithes and gifts given by our congregation, our Benevolence team assesses needs and distributes funds where they’re needed most.
Our first priority is meeting unexpected needs within our own church family. Beyond that, we regularly support several local ministries and agencies, and respond to additional needs in our community as they arise.
Have a Need, or Want to Give?
If you or someone in our church family is facing an unexpected need, reach out through [contact method — Church Center / staff contact / etc.]. If you’d like to give toward Benevolence, you can do so anytime through Church Center.
