The BigGive.

Once a year, one offering together, for our neighbors in Madison and our friends around the world.

Meet the eight partners

(Since 2018)

$111,427

given to missions, here and everywhere.

Ten percent of everything given here already goes to missions, every week. We announce the Big Give on our birthday each October, so there is time to pray, and in December we go further, together. We are not the only church in the world, and we want to be part of what God is doing everywhere.

(Here in Madison)

Our neighbors.

Feed Our Neighbors

Tellurian is a behavioral health and housing agency here in Dane County. We cook Monday night dinners with their case managers at Enso, apartments for neighbors moving out of long-term homelessness. Plus the community pantry downstairs, run with Creative Forces Therapy.

Caseworkers share what a family needs to stay together, like a bed for a child, and a trained team from our church brings it to the door.

Ready to
respond.

Vision and Benevolence Fund

So when a need comes up that's above and beyond, we're ready to respond.

(How to give)

Pray first,
then give.

Give online any time before the Big Give, or from your phone during the service that Sunday. We don't pass a bucket. Whatever you give, and whether you give at all, you are welcome here.

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

2 Corinthians 9:7
