WHAT IS A VISION BUILDER?

Vision Builders are those with a dream for our local church that’s larger than where we are at any given time. Vision Builders see a future harvest that glorifies God and is outworked through faith, sacrifice and commitment.

Vision

Mission

THE VISION is to build a home where people from all walks of life can come and be connected into God’s eternal community. A refuge where young and old discover hope and purpose. A space where the church gathers to be empowered, equipped and mobilised to do the work Christ has set before us. A haven where lost people find salvation and broken people find freedom.

HOW DOES GIVING WORK?

100% of your giving will go towards the facilities of the church location you attend.

Prayerfully consider the level of giving you feel is appropriate for you, based on wisdom and faith. It’s about equal sacrifice, not equal giving. Some people will give a little and some a lot. The power is in the participation. We are all in this together.

Future

Frequently asked questions

Why a 12 month commitment?

Giving into Vision Builders is done by making a financial commitment across a 12 month period. By pledging an amount in advance, we take a step of faith and make a declaration that we are committing to provide finance to build the church by resourcing the continual development of our local lighthouse facilities. By making a 12 month commitment, it also allows the leadership to plan ahead, so we can continue to meet the needs of our growing church family.

How is this different to regular giving/tithe?

Regular giving and tithes fund the day-to-day running of the church. The funds for Vision Builders are set aside to resource to building and expanding of the church buildings.

What is the money going towards?

More announcements will be made in due course about specific details of the next year’s building projects. The current building works are being funded from the current building fund program. We also allocate a portion to meet exiting repayment obligations for borrowed funds, and also repay back part of outstanding borrowings.

When do this year’s pledges need to be in by?

Pledges for this financial year need to be received by the church by the 30th of June.

How do I decide how much to pledge?

A good rule of thumb is to thoughtfully think about what is realistic for you to give over a year and prayerfully consider what a little stretch might look like as you allow God to move in your giving.

Is there a way that I can check on how much I have given so far this financial year?

Please contact Kris and Nicola Chapman (Vision Builders Directors) and they will be able to forward this information.
