God is Here in Worship, in Faith, in Service, and in Invitation 
and through our giving we make God’s love known. 

God is also present as we prayerfully consider the time and resources we will dedicate to God’s service, to one another, and to our faith community in the coming year. For the 2026 ministry spending plan, we are seeking a 5% increase in giving.

With this increase, Cross of Christ can continue to live out its mission by: Expanding our Benevolence to community and churchwide partners, Investing in Youth and Music Ministries, Supporting the upkeep of our building, expenses, and staff.

Together, our commitments make it possible to share God’s love within our congregation, our community, and the world.

God is Here in Worship: When have you experienced God’s presence in worship at Cross of Christ? How can we help more people encounter that same experience of God’s presence in our worship together?

God is Here in Faith: How have you seen God at work in your spiritual growth this year? How can our generosity help grow faith in each of us, our children, our youth, and our community?

God is Here in Service: When have you experienced God while serving others—locally, nationally, or globally? How can our generosity help God’s radical love reach more people in our congregation, community, and the world?

God is Here in Invitation: How have you witnessed God at work when inviting others to worship, learn, or serve? What more can we do as a congregation to welcome, include, and connect people to God’s love?

God is Here with me/us as we express our intention to give the amount below during the upcoming year, beginning January 1, 2026, to support the Cross of Christ Mission, Ministry, and Mortgage Fund.  I/we understand that this amount may be changed, if necessary, by notifying the church office.
