Christmas Offering / End of the Year Giving

​As we approach the end of the year we wanted to communicate a few important details to our church regarding end of year giving and our Christmas Offering.

​

End of Year Giving:

This is the time of the year many people are doing their end-of-the-year giving. Please consider giving towards Grace City this year. We will continue to pursue the purposes of God in Boston and around the world, and one of the ways we do that is through the faithful giving of God’s people.

For some of you, you have never given to Grace City. Perhaps this could be a significant first step in giving towards your church and the mission God has given us together. Maybe you have given in the past, and now is a great time to give again. Perhaps you are one of our many faithful givers, and God is calling you to deeper levels of giving at the end of 2024. Whenever you land on the spectrum, prayerfully consider giving.

We have made it easy to give. Hit this link here and you can set up a one time gift or regular giving.

​

Christmas Offering:

Each year, we take a Christmas offering to support strategic initiatives within our church and with our ministry partners. Last year, our primary focus was seeding our building fund, which will one day be utilized to purchase a building for our church in Boston. We have continued building on that fund throughout the year and felt tremendous encouragement last year. We had set a goal of $50,000 and ended up raising $200,000. Our church’s call to generosity was incredible.

​

What are We Giving Towards:

​

Amirah has been our partner for several years now. They were founded on the belief that no one was created to be bought and sold. Originally an outreach services organization, they began providing housing and residential recovery through group homes in 2014. Today, They have transformed into a multi-pronged service organization, providing mid-term housing through its Rapid Re-Housing program, economic mobility and stability planning, long-term housing navigation, comprehensive case management, peer care navigation, and community support.Pray.Boston is a new ministry initiative within our church. We receive much feedback from other churches and ministries about utilizing and prioritizing prayer. We believe one of the unique callings God has given our church is to help build a culture of prayer within our church and New England.

Pray.Boston is a strategic initiative that will help us grow our capacity for prayer through increasing weekly prayer rooms, hosting prayer ministry leaders, and additional curriculum and training for our church. 

GC Kids is a growing and exciting ministry within our church. One of the greatest hindrances to our old space was the lack of children’s space and, therefore, the lack of programming we could do. Moving to TOS will significantly increase our discipleship of families and children. We want to be a church for the city. This year, we will use a portion of our Christmas Offering to increase our capacity and programming for our kids. We want to have the best space in Boston for kids to come and learn about Jesus.

Would you join Katy and me in prayerfully considering what you will give towards our Christmas Offering this year? We have set an aggressive goal of $75,000, believing that God is calling our church to deeper levels of sacrificial generosity. When we give freely and generously, we fight back against the power money tends to hold over our lives.

​

How to Join Us:

​

We're excited about where we’re headed as a church, we’re in awe of what God’s done, and we want you to be a part of it. We hope you will join us by giving towards our end-of-year Christmas Offering  in one of the following ways:

1) If you are not already giving, we invite you to start giving. 

2) If you are giving periodically, we invite you to begin regular, recurring donations.

3) If you have been giving regularly, thank you! This year, we want to invite you to go above and beyond in sacrificial giving. 

If you call Grace City your home and want to support the work God is doing in our church, we encourage you to step out in generosity by giving. You can give today by going to https://gracecityboston.churchcenter.com/giving/to/christmas-offering
