Faith Promises

We just totalled our faith promises for the On Mission series and they came in a few hundred dollars shy of $100,000. We've historically invested in missions out of our general budget, but we decided to give NCCers an opportunity to invest in missions via a Faith Promise. We felt like we wanted to take our missions giving up a notch!

We've historically given between 15-20% of our general budget to missions. This year we'll give about $250,000 to missions. To put that into perspective, we gave our first $50 check to missions eight year ago before we were even a self-supporting church. We've come a long ways! But I can't wait till we're investing millions in missions. Missions is our lifeblood. As long as we continue to give to missions we'll experience God's continued blessing.
