Ways to Give & Stewardship FAQs
What makes your church's approach to donations and giving unique or special?
True stewardship grows from love for God, not guilt, and fosters generosity as worship within our congregation.
Can you share some examples of how donations have made a tangible difference in the lives of people in your community?
Here are some examples of where our donations go each month:
Mission of the Month Calendar 2026:
The Mission of the Month is an opportunity for members of the congregation to contribute donations to a specific good cause during each month of the year. Below is a suggested calendar for which mission will be assigned to each month of 2026. There are 3 months left open on purpose, so that the congregation members can suggest missions they would like to support, and have a say in the outreach program of the church. Suggestions for these months can be made to Outreach Team Leader Gaelle McLoud at: gaellemcloud@gmail.com or 774-301-5737. Thank you and God Bless!
