As we begin this new year, we are presented with another opportunity to live differently, sharing our lives and the gospel just as Jesus did.
While we often say, “together we take the next right step,” the “together” part is truly meaningful. When we share our lives and God’s blessings, we accomplish more than we could alone. Going before the Lord as part of The 5:10:5 Plan, a few families felt a specific calling from the Lord, and discerned a desire not only to give generously to the work God is doing here at Grace, but also to invite others to join them in this effort.
These families have pledged to provide a match up to $300,000 for all operating fund gifts given to Grace in excess of our current 2025 target of $2,800,000. You can find more details about this generous gift below:.
•Our current expected operating collection for 2025 is $2,800,000 which was also our approximate collection in 2024.
•Once the actual collected 2025 revenue reaches this goal of $2,800,000, any additional giving beyond that amount will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $300,000.
•This matching opportunity aligns with The 5:10:5 Plan. As individuals or families contribute more than they did the previous year, those additional dollars will move us closer towards earning the match. This ensures that your contribution will go farther, as it will help earn the match.
•We will track our progress towards earning the match based on our actual collections through the year.
You are encouraged to prayerfully consider God’s continued movement in your life. If you’ve never given before, perhaps this is the moment to take your first step. If you are already giving, we are deeply grateful for your ongoing generosity. And as we all have the opportunity to respond to the 5:10:5 invitation in our giving this year, to prayerfully increase our year over year giving by 5%, and to invite new people to join us, let’s do so knowing that we are together in our efforts.
