This past weekend we gave our church $20K with instructions to not spend it on themselves, but to go bless someone else this season. We are calling it the GiveBack Project. We wanted to see how radical generosity would tear down walls in people’s lives and show them that God […]
This past weekend we did something a little crazy. We gave our church an offering! Say what? Yep, we gave money to our church for a change. It’s all part of our GiveBack Project and our attempt to affect our communities with radical generosity this season. We’ve been studying this […]
As some of you may have seen, our church hosted an outreach event in the city of our Lancaster Campus this week. What many people don’t know is that Lancaster has a very high rate of poverty that affects thousands of children. We wanted to do something about it. As […]
