Connecting Our Community with Christ

Soaring and reaching,

Vibrant and fruitful,

Sheltering and comforting.

Help youth begin life with a solid foundation of faith.


Psalm 71 testifies that a foundation of faith established during childhood helps ensure lifelong faith and service. The patterns and lessons established during these formative years continue to bear fruit throughout a person's life. By receiving the Pentecost Offering, you are nurturing the faith of those who are the church to come — children, youth, and young adults.
