For the Next Generation

Love Offering Sunday has passed, but you can still give!

Each November is our Love Offering, a tradition in which we give above our normal tithes and offerings toward a unique emphasis. This year’s Love Offering will be given For the Next Generation!

Over the past several years, more and more students have joined our 4th+5th Grade and Middle School Ministries. Therefore, this year’s Love Offering will be given toward expanding, renovating, and updating the existing 4th+5th Grade and Middle School ministry areas. We want to create spaces of growth, excitement, and belonging where every student can flourish. Begin praying now about how you can give, and join us for Love Offering Sunday on November 12!

The Renovation Continues

In 2010, our church family invested in high school students through the Love Offering, which was used to expand, renovate, and update the High School Room. As demolition began, High School Ministry dubbed the efforts “The Renovation Begins.” Now it’s time to make the same investment for 4th+5th Grade and Middle School Ministries as the renovation continues…

Middle School Ministry
A Room To Grow

As Middle School Ministry continues to grow, their area needs upgraded technology and more space to host students. We want to expand and refresh the Middle School Room so we can more easily welcome and minister to students.

“Middle School Ministry has taught me so much. It’s been a time of a lot of spiritual growth. … I have learned a lot from Cory and Morgan and my Life Group Teachers. My biggest takeaway is learning to trust God and understanding that He has a plan for my life. … Attending Wednesday nights is one of the highlights of my week. We get to hang out and have a lot of fun, but we also worship and study God’s Word.”

Hallie, Middle School Student

How To Give

There are many ways to give toward the 2023 Love Offering, including pledges, online donations, cash, checks, stocks, and more.

Cash or Check

If you prefer to give with a one-time cash or check gift, Love Offering envelopes are available at the giving kiosks in each lobby.

Letter from Next Gen

Thank you for the ways you pour into our students. In the world we live in, it is more crucial than ever for us to come alongside students in the preteen and early teen years. They are going through more cognitive changes at this age than at almost any other stage of their growth, and it’s up to the church to walk with them and point them to Jesus as their source of truth.

We love our students, and we pray that through your investments, they will see that their church family not only cares for them but also believes in them. To God be the glory—He has done and will continue to do great things in Next Gen Ministry.

Cory O’Hara
Middle School Pastor

A Word from our Committee Chairman

“Preteens and early teens need to know there is a place where they belong—for them to have a safe place where they can ask questions and we can point them to answers from God’s Word. … This age is the time for them to have the Gospel declared to them as clearly as possible and for them to be able to apply it to their lives in a way they can understand.”
