Richland Creek Community Church gathers to glorify God, grow in Christ, and go on mission. To do that well, we must be good stewards of the resources God has given us, particularly our finances and our building.
Gathered Giving is Richland Creek’s all-in effort to invest in future ministry by paying down our debt and maintaining the wonderful meeting spaces we have.
Paying off our $5.7 million debt and providing for building maintenance, while not flashy or extravagant, are essential to our church’s long-term health.
Between now and November 12, we’re asking each giver to make a significant contribution above and beyond their normal giving to get our campaign off the ground.
Consider This
Once we pay off our existing mortgage, we will free up around $41,000 monthly we can apply directly to glorifying, growing, and going. We could strategically…
- Send more money and workers to overseas mission partners.
- Work toward planting new Gospel churches, both locally and worldwide.
- Invest in generations to come by creating new space for our students.
All In Together
If we keep paying off our debt at the current rate, we won’t be debt-free until 2040! We can free up more resources sooner if we go all-in together above and beyond our normal giving to pay off our debt early.
God has given us different resources, but we can all be generous and contribute:
- If every giver gave up one trip to the coffee shop each week ($16 a month), we could raise an additional $100,000 a year and pay off our debt more than a year and a half sooner.
- If every giver gave up a restaurant meal a week ($80 a month), we could raise an additional $550,000 a year and pay off our debt more than eight years early.
- If every giver gave up a restaurant meal weekly AND made a $500 annual sacrificial gift, we could pay off the debt in a little over five years!
