Vision Builders
Annual Offering

Church, we are in miraculous days. Across the nation, we are hearing stories of salvations, freedom, and renewed hunger for Jesus. These are the days we have prayed for—and in this season, we are convinced that God’s heart is drawing us all to be a part of the miracle.

We are not just individuals attending a church; we are family, one body united in purpose and heart. Throughout scripture, when God moves powerfully, He so often chooses to do it through ordinary people who simply bring what they have and place it in His hands.

We see it with the loaves and fishes, with the disciples, and we still see it today: God chooses to work mightily through availability and surrender.

As we approach our Vision Builders season, we are reminded that this has never been about equal giving, but equal sacrifice. Never about comfort, but courage. Never just about today, but about eternity. Every person has a part to play—through generosity, serving, prayer, invitation, and engagement in the mission of God.

As we continue writing the story where Acts left off, we believe there’s still more to come! More lives transformed, people discipled, and more city impact through the power of Jesus.

Because of your incredible generosity through the Advance Offering, we’ve been able to begin again on a clean slate, and for that we are deeply grateful.

But we also want to be honest: while this has created vital momentum, we still need to reach our goal in order to continue advancing the work already happening and establish new ministry opportunities that are essential for the future God is calling us into.

The majority of our giving this year will go towards strengthening the work we are already doing as a church, as well as going towards some new missional initiatives we are excited to be partnering with.

Ultimately, this is all about making Jesus famous. And we won’t stop, until the whole world knows.

Your Generosity Builds the Future

As we step into Vision Builders, we are not just talking about a church’s mission—we are talking about your opportunity to shape the spiritual climate around us and even beyond our borders. Your faith-filled giving directly impacts lives, strengthens the church, and brings hope to those in need.

So this is not just a vision—it is our vision. It is not just what the church is doing—it is what we are doing, together, because this is a family matter.

Let’s bring our first and our best to God and His Church. In His name, amen!

Some Key Priorities From This Offering...

Continuing To Strengthen All That We Are Currently Doing As A Church

This remains as one of our key priorities as a church. We don’t simply want to start new things—we want to build sustainably, faithfully, and with excellence in the ministries already bearing fruit across our church family.

From Sundays to Groups, kids, youth, discipleship, pastoral care and leadership development, we believe God has entrusted us with something significant that must be nurtured and strengthened.

As momentum grows and more people encounter Jesus, our commitment is not merely to maintain what exists, but to invest into healthy, thriving ministries that can disciple people well, care for people deeply, and continue making a lasting Kingdom impact for years to come.

Beginning To Explore The Idea Of Reclaiming The Nursery Space And Repurposing It For Church Use

Exploring the possibility of utilising the former nursery space to better serve the life of the church. As our ministries continue to grow, we want to maximise the use of our building in ways that create more opportunities for all things discipleship, community, ministry, and for Kingdom impact throughout the week.

Groups' Mission Match Funding

Creating a ‘match funding’ pot that Groups can access to help bring local mission ideas to life. Our heart is to empower Groups to become visible expressions of hope in their neighbourhoods, serving their communities in practical and faith-filled ways.

As a church, we believe in the power and priority of tithing, so if you don’t currently bring your first 10% to the house of God, then can we encourage you to start there - no obligation to give in this offering! God challenges to Malachi to test him in this to see his faithfulness (Malachi 3:10), and so we would suggest doing the same for the next 12 months and seeing the faithfulness of God in action.
