What is Above and Beyond?
Each year, our faith family sets aside the final months of the year to go Above & Beyond. It’s an invitation to ask God how we might give beyond our regular generosity and general budget to make a lasting Kingdom impact. Our goal is to reach these goals by the end of the year.
This year’s goals are focused on three areas of impact: Here, Near, and Far.
Giving Far - Global Mission: Ethiopia
Our Goal is to raise at least $10,000.
Over the past two years we’ve raised more than $75,000 to help our partners in Ethiopia launch a sustainability project. Now we’re providing crucial ongoing support for medical care, education, and food for families connected to the Shone Gerbe CarePoint.
Giving Near - Local Mission: Supporting Our Community
We desire to raise at least $20,000.
We support local ministries such as Fresh Coast Alliance, Love in Action, Reach the Forgotten, and Kid's Belong and desire to strengthen their amazing work in this season. In addition, we desire to replenish our Benevolence Fund to help Watermarkers and neighbors with practical needs.
Achieving and exceeding this goal allows us to expand and deepen our support and partnerships in our wider community.
Giving Here - Mission Hub: Investing in Our Space
We desire to raise at least $20,000.
Our facility, The Hub, is fully paid off and continues to serve as a space for mission, training, and ministry. The next step is to improve it and give it some much needed attention to better serve our community and faith family mission. Your gifts will help launch needed updates and projects identified through our recent listening sessions.
We invite you to:
Pray and ask God how you can go Above & Beyond this season.
