how to get involved

1. Prayerfully consider the amount of giving that is appropriate for you.
This should be your first step in becoming involved in establishing the Build to Reach. Pray for both faith and wisdom in making your decision.

2. Make your commitment to Build to Reach.
During March, you will have an opportunity to make your commitment during any of our services, by completing a commitment card.


3. Consider how you will fulfil your commitment.
You will have several options available to you:

Make a regular weekly or monthly contribution. Regular giving can be easier to manage, is rewarding and quickly builds up over time.

Make a one-off gift.

Salary sacrifice. Arrange with your employer to make a deduction from your salary each pay.

Direct deposit. You can organise regular payments to be made via internet banking.

Not Equal Giving But Equal Sacrifice

Any offering of this magnitude will be sacrificial. We will have to rise to the challenge, yet that challenge will be different for each person. So, our theme is not equal giving, but equal sacrifice.

To sacrifice means to willingly give the best I have for a greater purpose.

Whilst we cannot all give the same amount, we can all sacrifice. This way, everyone can have a part. For some, a sacrificial gift may be $500. For others, it could be $150,000 or more. God will impress a specific amount on your heart if you ask Him.

A sacrificial gift is one that requires you to:
- change your lifestyle;
- re-arrange your priorities;
- actually give up something.

Your sacrificial gift, which is sown in faith, can only be determined by you and the Lord. I urge you to make your gift a matter of prayer, being confident that God will clearly direct you, enabling each to give as he purposed in His heart. 2 Corinthians 9:7

Our faith goals will come about as a result of our prayerful consideration of the question, What does God want me to do? Our response to the challenge before us, must be made on the basis of Gods will for each individual or family.

To determine the rightness of your faith goal, ask yourself these three questions:
1. Was it born in prayer?
2. Is it truly sacrificial?
3. Does it involve faith?

Build to Reach requires a financial commitment separate and above what we already give in tithes and offerings. Through prayer and commitment, the offerings we give are important in the growth of the church in reaching and building people.
