There's no greater impact we could make together.
Giving runs Sunday, keeps CKidz free for every family, feeds neighbors on Serve Day, and is planting the Lake County campus right now.
Generosity is a response, not a fee.
Nobody here is asked to give in order to belong. Giving is what people do once this is their church — and it's the reason a family can walk in on a Sunday and everything waiting for them is already paid for.
If you're new, you're our guest. Come as many times as you like without ever putting a dollar in. That's not a soft sell; it's the actual policy.
When we make a difference in the lives of others, the Bible tells us we will experience joy.
Five places, plainly.
The annual report has the numbers. This is the shape of it.
Sunday
Three services a week — the room, the sound, the lights, the stream, and the people who make all of it run.
CKidz
Curriculum, supplies, safety systems, and training. Free for every family, every week, on purpose.
The city
Serve Day, benevolence, and the quieter help that doesn't get posted — groceries, gas, a utility bill.
Lake County
Planting a second campus. Equipment, venue, launch team, and the first year of a church that doesn't exist yet.
Staff & facility
The building on North Ridge and the small team who keep the whole thing from depending on any one person's free time.
Published every year
What we did, who it reached, and where the money went. Churches ask for a lot of trust — this is part of earning it.
Five, all of them fine.
Online
One-time or recurring, card or bank. About thirty seconds, and you can change or cancel a recurring gift yourself any time.
Give onlineText to give
Text an amount to the church number. First time sets it up; after that it's one message.
On a Sunday
Boxes by the doors at all three services. Nothing is passed down a row, and guests are never included in the moment.

How it worksNeed help?
If money is the hard thing right now, ask. That's what a lot of this is for. Email us — it's confidential.
The practical stuff.
Is online giving secure?
Yes — it runs through the same encrypted processor as your church app, and we never see or store your card number.
Can I set up recurring giving?
Yes, weekly, twice monthly, or monthly. You control it from your own account and can change or cancel it yourself without calling anyone.
Will I get a statement for taxes?
Yes. A contribution statement goes out every January, and you can download one from your account at any time.
Can I give toward a specific thing?
Yes — the Lake County plant, benevolence, or CKidz. Choose the fund when you give. Undesignated gifts go to general operations, which is what keeps Sunday running.
Do I have to be a member to give?
No, and you don't have to give to belong. Both directions are true.
Are the fees taken out of my gift?
Processing fees apply as with any card transaction. You can cover them at checkout if you want to — it's a checkbox, and it's genuinely optional.
Read the annual report.
What happened, who it reached, and where the money went — published once a year, in plain language, whether or not anyone asks for it.
Legacy & asset giving
Stock and securities, donor-advised funds, estate and will provisions, and one-time capital gifts toward the Lake County plant. These take a short conversation rather than a form.
Thank you, seriously.
Everything on this site that's free to somebody is free because somebody else gave.
