Your Gifts

  • Reporting back to you, with transparency, about how your gifts are used

  • Respecting your security and privacy

  • Praying for you

We recognize that your gifts are an investment – and we will use them with the utmost care. We see ourselves as accountable to you for how your gifts are spent!
