GIVE HOPE '25

The time is NOW church, it’s happening, here is our WORD—OPEN

Turn. Click. OPEN.

It’s more than a sound— it’s the sound of heaven granting access. An unlocking is taking place. The sound of chains falling off, the sound of a door swinging wide into new territory. We believe that God is opening our finances, opening our walk, opening our relationships, and opening our places of employment. We have been given the keys and now is the time to use them— now is the time to step through.

Turn. Click. OPEN.

Our Verse

“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens. “‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name."

Revelation 3:7-8

We will celebrate the giving of the Give Hope pledge cards on Sunday, November 23rd.

As summer comes to a close, we step back into the rhythms of work, school, and church life.

For us, September marks the beginning of a new year as we enter into our Give Hope Season—a time to reflect on God's faithfulness in the past and to look forward with anticipation to all He will do in the year ahead.

At the heart of Give Hope is our practice of giving first fruits—a special offering, set apart from the tithe, that represents the first and best of what God has given us. Just as Scripture teaches, we bring our first fruits in faith and gratitude, trusting that God will bless and multiply what remains.

To mark the beginning of this season, we celebrate with Gala Sunday—a day set apart to honor God and His goodness to our church. We will celebrate how your first fruits offering has already blessed and advanced the work God is doing through Living Hope. Together, we will rejoice in what He has done, set our intentions for the coming year, and declare our Word of the Year—a word we have prayerfully sought, prophetically received, and now believe for both our individual lives and for our church.

So church, we invite you to Gala Sunday on October 12th during our 9AM & 11AM services to celebrate all that God has done, is doing, and will continue to do. We would love your participation in dressing up for the occasion and coming in your best 'party attire'— It is a Gala after all. Of course, we always want you to come as you are, but if there's a time to get dressed up, it's now! You can expect a Sunday of worship, reflection, and activities for the whole family.

We can't wait to see you!

 FAQs

  • Gala Sunday is the Sunday that kicks off our Give Hope season. Imagine a big party celebrating our finances, our relationships, and our accomplishments as a church. We celebrate what God has done, is doing, and what He is going to do!

  • You are not required to participate in the Give Hope season. We always encourage participation, even if it’s not your ideal amount to give, because God can move with your offering!

  • The pledge card is split into two sides because you will be returning one side back to the church on November 23rd! That side will be kept safe here at the church for our pastoral team to pray over and contend for! The other side is for you to take home and pray over as a family and keep as a reminder throughout the year!

  • We’ll be receiving the offering from our Give Hope season on November 23rd and throughout 2026.

  • The Give Hope offering is a separate collection of funds that is used throughout the year on board approved projects. These projects better Living Hope as a whole, including building improvements, missions projects, and financial support for those in desperate need, among other things.

  • Please always come as you are, but we’d be delighted in your participation to wear party attire! Think semi-formal attire— it’s a Gala after all!
