Merry Christmas!
This posture of praise and thankfulness is the right response, overwhelming our hearts and overflowing into generosity. For many years, people who call Bible Center home have lived generously, investing faithfully in others, the church’s ministries, and the dreams God has given for the future. Their faithfulness has borne fruit, and now, as we look toward the next chapter—asking God to move again and seeing Him do so—we sense the Holy Spirit urging us to respond.
This year’s Christmas Offering is fuel for vision, ministry, and reaching more people with the hope of the gospel. It’s a practical way for us to join God in what He’s doing in our state and world. As you reflect on His gift of Jesus, would you consider how He’s calling you to respond and participate in this next step for Bible Center?
I’m excited for all that’s to come in 2025 and beyond, believing that God has just begun to write the story of grace over this church. Let’s join Him in this journey!
Exceedingly grateful for you,
John King
Lead Pastor
Each December, nearly 25% of our annual giving is received. Your generosity fuels family ministries, care, local and global outreach, weekend services, ministry through the Maker’s Center, and more. These efforts to lead others to Christ both here and around the world are made possible by people like you who love Jesus and His Church. Meeting this year’s Christmas Offering goal will strengthen our impact as we focus on two key objectives of Vision 24/25: A Year of Transformation.
Would you pray about what God would have you give to the Christmas offering this year?
2024 contributions must be received or postmarked by December 31. If you have questions about other tax-free giving opportunities, contact Tiffany Moore, Controller, at (304) 346-0431.
