Our Initiatives
We are blessed to be a blessing!
At Christmas we celebrate the generosity of God. He came near and gave us Jesus. Each year our Christmas Offering is one way we answer that gift, by sharing His love with our neighbors, across the country and around the world.
INITIATIVE #1
YOUR NOMINATIONS
Nominate a person or organization who could use an extra blessing. We’ll send them a check with a letter letting them know they’re seen, loved and not forgotten.
INITIATIVE #2
EASTVIEW FOOD PANTRY
Hundreds of families visit our Food Pantry every month. This year’s offering helps keep the shelves stocked with good food we’d be glad to put on our own tables.
INITIATIVE #3
NEXT GEN CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS
More students are going to camp than ever, and they’re bringing friends. The offering lowers the cost for every family and gives full scholarships to those who need them.
INITIATIVE #4
LIFELONG ACCESS CARE COLLECTIVE
Lifelong Access is turning the historic Pantagraph building in downtown Bloomington into a place of care for people with disabilities and mental health needs. When it opens in June 2027, it will serve about 700 people every day.
INITIATIVE #5
HOLY
CHURCH
Ryan and Bethany Straarup moved their family to Utah and will launch Holy Church in fall 2027. The offering helps them get ready to reach a region that needs Jesus.
INITIATIVE #6
PILLATRE MATERNITY CENTER
Haitian Christian Ministries is building a maternity center in northern Haiti. The offering helps add a delivery room, a recovery room and a newborn nursery so moms and babies get the care they need.
