Joyful Giving
When we are faithful to give back to God through the local church, lives are transformed throughout the region – addicted young adults find freedom, prodigal children come home, and hundreds of people are baptized in the name of Jesus. Your faithful investment in the Kingdom of God made it possible to reach these people, and many others in our community, with the love of Jesus.
Any and all gifts given to the church between November 27th and December 31st will be accounted for under Joyful Giving, and we’ll distribute 10% of these gifts directly to our non-profit recipient after the first of the year.
Whether this is your first time giving back to God through the church (what an incredible step!), or you’ve been giving consistently each week, we urge you to approach our season of Joyful Giving with these three simple steps:
Pray | First and foremost, ask God how he would invite you to engage in this season for his purposes here in Greater Portland.
Prepare | Set your gift at the top of your budget for the rest of the year–practical planning will help prepare your heart to give joyfully.
Give Joyfully | We are all giving in faith, knowing God will use us and multiply our impact here in Greater Portland in ways we couldn’t imagine. Co-laboring with God is an exciting adventure!
We have no doubt that God is going to use the generosity of our church family to make an impact for his Kingdom. We are so grateful that we get to partner with you to do this transformative work.
This Year's Joyful Giving Recipient
The Family Restored
The Family Restored (TFR) began in 2011 in Portland, Maine when a small group of people in recovery started a support meeting to help families understand and cope with their loved one’s addiction.This group knew from experience how their addiction had hurt their families and loved ones. As facilitators they offered a unique perspective to educate, inform, and inspire hope for families.
