GIVING

As a church, we are focusing on becoming Good News people whose lives are shaped by the hope, love and grace of Jesus. Opportunities like the upcoming Kent Island Campus are expressions of what God is doing among us. Launching a new campus requires sacrifice. While the renovations, equipment, children’s spaces, staffing and other pre-launch needs have been fully covered through your past generosity! However, the operational costs of this new outreach will increase our budget by approximately $300,000. To meet our budget and successfully launch Kent Island, we rely on our December giving to be approximately double that of a normal month. This is why our end-of-year giving this year is especially important.

Your generous, year-end gift is not just a donation; it is a kingdom investment that helps fulfill this part of God’s vision for our church.

At Bay Area, our passion is that each of us become disciples of Jesus. And we believe that you cannot be a mature follower of Jesus if you do not steward your possessions for His glory. Ultimately, we don’t want something from you. We want something for you. We want you to become a growing, maturing disciple of Jesus! With that in mind, there are two foundational truths we embrace regarding faithful stewardship:

1. God owns it, I steward it.
2. Give, Save, Live

Your faithful giving supports the mission of our church to make passionate, maturing followers of Jesus from here to the nations. The generosity of our church family has blessed our campuses, ministries, local and global partners, church plants and so much more.
