Give to the movement
Together, we are building a movement right here in our local community. A movement wherein:
This movement is run by everyday people who want to be a part of something bigger than themselves. It is run by people who want to contribute to the change they want to see in the world, with their own hands, feet, and resources. We all have power... whether on a given day that is the power of time, the power of resources, the power of kindness, the power of voice. We invite you to use your power today toward what you believe in!
If today you want to give you the power of your resources, click the give button below !
And scroll down to take a gander at the financial values and practices that we abide, as we carry the call to responsibly steward and multiply the resources our donors so generously give.
- Neighbors know and meet the needs of their own neighborhood until their neighborhood is whole.
- Our children grow up as a part of a village that cares for them and empowers them to care for their world.
- A community of faith is not a club for people who all believe, act, and look the same- it is a life-giving home base that delights in and relies on the WHOLE spectrum of humanity in our midst to reflect the WHOLE image of God.

Our Financial Values
Below are some of our core values and practices that drive how we invest and steward our resources.

We invest in people rather than things.
We operate at a very low overhead quite intentionally. Rather than funding a building plan, we invest in our community by gathering in community spaces, and investing in the humans at the heart of them. We value smart partnerships.
We deeply value the people doing good work around us and optimize our time and our relational capacity by integrating and partnering well with our community rather than reinventing our own isolated paths. Our giving directly impacts our community.
Our leadership is composed of pastor-leader-organizers who are called not just to the community of faith, but to our neighborhood. Half of our staff time is spent by using our hands and feet to work in our neighborhood and draw others into that work. |
Our finances are transparent to our members, donors, and the public. We make our budget available to all donors + welcome questions at any time. We prepare monthly reports that are reconciled with our bank account and reviewed for unusual deviations by our board, and we have gone above and beyond legal requirements to make our finances available to the public. Read more here.
Your donations are confidential and tax deductible.
Only our record-keepers (board treasurer and secretary) have authorization to view giving amounts so that your giving remains confidential. Read more here for details about tax-deductible receipts and year-end statements. We maintain a diligent system of checks + balances and dependable record-keeping. In each facet of our financial record-keeping we have well-documented and executed procedures with layers of checks and balances always involving a second, and often third set of eyes. This includes contributions, checks to payees, and expense reimbursement. We also diligently back all records up so that our documentation is fail-safe. Read here for details.
