Remember – God loves a joyful giver, and you can never out-give God!

“Now [remember] this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows generously [that blessings may come to others] will also reap generously [and be blessed]. Let each one give [thoughtfully and with purpose] just as he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver [and delights in the one whose heart is in his gift]. And God is able to make all grace [every favor and earthly blessing] come in abundance to you, so that you may always [under all circumstances, regardless of the need] have complete sufficiency in everything [being completely self-sufficient in Him] and have an abundance for every good work and act of charity.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 Amp

If you have already participated in our Heart for the House giving campaign, I want to thank you. You are helping us fulfill God’s mission for our church. And remember, you can’t out-give God!

If you have not yet participated in the Heart for the House, or even heard about it, this is a giving campaign to enable us to fulfill Christ’s mission for GPC. I have included the details below for your prayer consideration.

OUR 2023 GIVING GOAL: $870,000.00

This is $300,000.00 over last years overall giving.

Our overall giving in 2022 was $570,000. This was $60k over 2021! Thank you!

Note: Though our giving was $60k more in 2022 than 2021, we invested $100k more in ministry in 2022. This included such things as:

  • Bringing Josh and Darylee Hamilton on staff full-time staff. This was a strategic, two-year commitment to help our church thrive. I am sure you would all agree that our church would not be where it is without them. Their salary is being paid from our savings with the goal of having them fully supported through our tithes and offerings by the end of this year. In full disclosure, if we do not reach this goal, we will not be able to keep them on staff.
  • Bringing David Lotze on staff part time
  • Purchasing of equipment and supplies so we can effectively do church at The Centre
  • Benevolence and counseling for our members – especially coming out of Covid.
  • Local and International Benevolence and Outreaches
  • Withdrawing from our GPC Orphan’s Fund for Hope and Sam to go to Vietnam to be reunited with his birth parents (If you have not watched the two-part documentary, catch 13 minute Pt 1 HERE – and 14 minute Pt 2 HERE.)

Reaching our 2023 giving goal will enable us to:

  • Fully fund the GPC ministry staff
  • Continue to meet the benevolence and counseling needs of our members
  • Fully fund our current and future missionaries and mission organizations
  • Local missional and attractional outreaches
  • Increased advertising (so people know where we are)
  • Upgraded website
  • Upgraded children’s ministry function and feel
  • Additional storage unit for children’s ministry
  • Youth camps/Marriage seminars/Parenting Seminars/Praise Gatherings/Freedom Weekends/Guest speakers
  • Continued savings towards a future permanent home
