Why we give
The Bible says in Matthew 6:24 that the top competitor for our commitment to Jesus is money. Giving allows us to demonstrate that He is more important to us than material things. Your generous gift helps us pursue our vision of “All of Life for Christ” and provide opportunities to grow in Christ, build one another up, and to serve others in the greater Carlisle community and beyond.
Invest in the Next
We are incredibly grateful for the ways our congregation faithfully supports the ministries of CEFC through generous giving. Each year, we invite our church family to give above and beyond their regular tithes and offerings to help invest in the future of ministry. This year, we are asking our congregation to prayerfully consider investing in two important areas: the next ministry opportunity God places before us and the next generation of ministry leaders.
Your generosity will help us prepare for future ministry opportunities, including paying down debt at our Carlisle campus and renovating or finding new space for our Mount Holly and Pike campuses. It will also help us invest in emerging ministry leaders through our ministry residency and internship programs. God is at work in our community and in our church, and we want to be ready to respond faithfully wherever He leads us next!
75% of all gifts will go toward preparing for our next ministry opportunity, while 25% will be invested in developing the next generation of ministry leaders through our residency and internship programs. Although we are one church in three locations, we want to ensure that each campus can invest in ministry within its own community. For this reason, 75% of each gift will remain at the campus where it was given to support future ministry opportunities at that location. The remaining 25% will support our ministry residency and internship programs by helping cover the compensation of our residents and interns. These funds will be shared across the church and will not be allocated based on the campus where they were given.
Thank you for your continued generosity and for partnering with us as we *Invest in the Next!* Together, we can prepare for the ministry opportunities God places before us and equip the next generation of leaders to serve His church.
