Joy Campaign: General Fund

2 Cor. 8:1-4 tells a church living in extreme poverty, yet investing all that they had so that other may know Jesus. They gave not under compulsion or guilt, but rather out of complete JOY!

As a church we are believing God to free us from secular thinking and, teach us to live in compete gratitude to God. We who are Christians, know that God spared nothing so that we could be free and in relationship with Him. In gratitude, we want to give all that we can so that others may come to know Jesus too. We are believing that this big "missional" force will come from the following four areas of church ministry: the General Fund, Local Outreach, Global Missions, and our Capital/Building Campaign. With God's help, we want to see more people come to know Jesus in 2010 than ever before!

This week, we are focusing on the Church General Fund. Currently, the General Fund covers the following church expenses:
  • Rent of the Midway Theater
  • Rent of the Campus Location
  • Utilities and Supplies
  • Full-Time Salary for the Church Administrator
Knowing that God has done so through these ministry tools, we believe that even more can be done with the following additions in 2010:
  • Additional Full-Time Staff Member
  • Additional Part-Time Staff Member
Currently, the church operates on a weekly budget of $1,750.00. To meet our Joy Campaign goal, our weekly income will need to increase to $2,250.00. With God's help, this is more than possible.

Ways to Give Joyfully:
  • In Person: give privately at any FHCC service or event
