When we give something physical to God, a shift happens inside us. We start to grow spiritually in new ways. We believe that’s why God asks us to give a portion of our treasure back to Him, because learning to trust Him with what we can see prepares us to trust Him with what we can't see: His sovereignty, His providence, and His eternal power.
While giving has a profound impact on our faith, it also ripples outward. The secondary goal of the Awaken initiative was designed to take physical steps toward releasing the church, reviving our city, and restoring hope to the world. Just as the early church in Acts 2 came together as a family, sharing meals, possessions, and joyfully serving one another, we too are called to join together in generosity. And our church has done just that. Through the bold faith and generosity of our people, we’ve made a tangible Kingdom impact within our church, across our city, and around the world.
Here's the reach we're celebrating as we finish out the Awaken season:
RELEASE THE CHURCH
An updated NextGen curriculum—taking kids and teens on a deeper theological dive each week, and resourcing parents to have meaningful conversations at home.
An increased commitment of people giving their first and best back to God, with 74% more people giving for the first time since the start of Awaken.
Launching a Summer Internship program, giving current college students the opportunity to explore vocational ministry.
Launching a new app to meet people where they are and communicate with them in effective ways.
REVIVE THE CITY
Going where our people are and inviting more in through the permanent launches of Midtown and Fishers.
Making necessary updates to our Northwest campus, our "sending" campus, to better equip us for prolonged ministry.
RESTORE HOPE TO THE WORLD
Increasing our global outreach budget to further support the significant impact our partners are making for God's Kingdom in their cities and regions.
Supporting 624 families through our Foster & Adoption Ministry's Resource Center and Care Communities.
Because of your generosity, we’re seeing lives transformed, communities strengthened, and hope restored both near and far. Every gift, every act of faith, helps move God’s Kingdom forward in tangible ways.
This is just the beginning. Together, we can continue to release the church, revive the city, and restore hope to the world, trusting that what we give in faith will bear fruit far beyond what we can see.
