Sunday, October 13th, all church members are asked to be in attendance as we collect commitments of financial resources from individuals and families.
We have been asked to bring our “loaves and fishes” for the benefit of the Church, and pray that God will bless these offerings and provide for Cornerstone Christian Church abundantly. Cornerstone Christian Church is seeking to expand its ministries and outreach at this time. After prayerful consideration, it has been determined by the leadership, with the approval of the congregation, that relocation to a new facility is prudent to help facilitate the future of Cornerstone. Commitment cards will be available to all members and friends of the Church who wish to participate in Cornerstone’s vision.
Commitments should be based on a three year forecast of giving to this purpose, and the amount committed should be that portion which is above the tithe or normal giving by the individual or family.
Current giving levels must be maintain to support our daily activities, salaries, and missions work we are presently doing. All funds given to the general fund are split 50/50 with half going to the operation of the church and half going directly to the mission field as our missions committee directs. Commitments and funds designated to the facilities fund will be directed 100% to the procurement of a facility which will better meet the growing needs of the Church. Everyone’s financial situation is different. If you wish to contribute your three year commitment in advance of a three year time-line, that is totally acceptable. If you wish to spread your giving amount contributions over a weekly/monthly period within a one, two, or three year time frame, then we welcome your gift.
The initial commitment will enable the Church Council to make appropriate financial and budgeting decisions for the Church as we attempt to expand our reach.
Cards will be collected during the October 13th service and the total funds committed will be revealed. Prior to the collection of commitments from the congregation, the church leadership will reveal their tallied financial commitments to the Church as a group.
Please be prepared for a blessing. Please be prepared to commit the best financial gift you are able to provide. Please be prepared to ask God to bless and multiply our offerings.
Please ask God to work supernaturally in guiding Cornerstone Christian Church by providing appropriate resources to identify and obtain new location.
