Why the Christmas Offering?
Grace’s Christmas Offering is an annual tradition which expands both our influence on our city and our faith in God. Through giving, we reach more, we trust more, and we love more.
This year's offering supports these critical projects:
Offices & Ministry Space for Grace Oviedo
Our Oviedo campus has been portable for 9 years; this will give them weekday impact for Christ in their neighborhood.
A move for the Winter Garden Campus
Winter Garden will move to a new rental space in 2022, giving them more flexibility to reach people for Christ.
Expanding Grace Counseling
We just started, and we're already full. The offering will help us grow and plan for the future.
Teaching & Healing Scholarships
To ensure that our emphasis on teaching and healing is built for legacy, we're establishing scholarships for people who want to become Christian teachers and counselors.
Supporting Commission 127
This foster-focused ministry gives foster parents the care and resources they need to keep going and provide homes and community for kids who need a family.
How the Christmas Offering Works
The $1.5 million goal for the Christmas Offering comes from two places:
YOUR REGULAR GIVING
This is what our generous church already gives in their regular tithes and offerings during the month of December.
YOUR ADDITIONAL GENEROSITY
We are asking you to pray about giving a generous gift in addition to your regular giving before the year’s end during the Christmas Offering.
We’ll count any gifts given during Advent through December 31st toward the Christmas Offering, and we’ll report on the results at every campus in the first week of our January sermon series, the weekend of January 8th & 9th.
All gifts to the Grace Christmas Offering are tax-deductible, and you can download your complete giving statement for your 2021 records as early as January 4th.
