annual OFFERINGs

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give…”
— 2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)

Kingdom impact

Throughout the year, our Mission Driven Churches family joins in a seasonal rhythm of generosity. These Annual Offerings are more than traditions — they are opportunities to unite with believers across the country to meet tangible needs, strengthen ministries, and share the love of Christ in powerful ways.

Each offering is uniquely focused and tied to a season. Whether it's supporting global missionaries, responding to natural disasters, or caring for retired ministers who’ve faithfully served, these moments call us to respond with open hearts and willing hands.

Explore each offering below to access resources for your church bulletin, announcements and website! Mark your calendar to participate in this year’s impact.
