Christmas Offering

God’s desire for all of us is to take the generosity and love that He offers us and offer it to others. The Christmas season often shows people's needs in dramatic ways, and we have the opportunity to help meet those needs. One of the best (and easiest) ways to do that is by giving towards our Christmas Offering.

This fund helps us invest in emerging leaders, giving them the opportunity to develop their talents and serve our church community. Last year, it enabled us to bring on Wyatt Hobbs as a worship intern, supporting him with 10-12 hours a week of paid ministry internship. This year, we’re excited to use the fund to train two new worship leaders from our congregation, Owen Floyd and Gracie West. Equipping and sending out new leaders is a time-honored tradition in the church, and we embrace this calling with a passion for teaching and sharing the gospel.

Throughout the year—especially in extreme weather—we receive calls and visits from people in urgent need of help with rent, gas, bills, or simply a safe place to stay for the night. With thoughtful discernment and in partnership with local outreach groups like Serve Wenatchee, Wenatchee Rescue Mission, and Wenatchee Lighthouse, we provide vital support. Last year, thanks to this fund, we helped over 25 people stay in their homes, keep their cars running, and regain stability in their lives.

This year we'll be supporting Lighthouse for Christ in Mombasa, Kenya, a ministry that combines physical healing and spiritual growth. At their full-service eye hospital and satellite clinics, patients receive high-quality eye care regardless of their ability to pay. Lighthouse for Christ also equips future Kenyan leaders through a one-year Bible School program, which teaches theology, discipleship, and evangelism. Additionally, Lighthouse for Christ plants new churches each year, expanding a Fellowship of Churches reaching 87 communities along Kenya’s coast.
