What about giving? Anyone can contribute by writing a check to Global Ministries Fellowship designated for Christ Fellowship. We encourage you to give, because your gifts constitute a relationship with Christ Fellowship, a sacred trust between us, and accountability to a covenant according to the following budgetary guidelines.
Online donations are welcome at https://www.egivingsystems.org/support/46716/ . Be sure to indicate that your online donation is designated for Christ Fellowship.
What are the budgetary guidelines? It is expected that this church shall be supported through the regular gifts, time, service, and offerings of her partners and participants. Christ Fellowship allocates the highest financial priority to local and global missions expenditures – funds spent beyond this church. So far, we have invested roughly half of our budget to missions, relying on the gift of volunteerism to replace what many churches spend on salaries, mortgages, cleaning services, publications, etc.
The advance of God’s Kingdom can’t rely entirely on paid Christian workers so Christ Fellowship is dependent upon teams of volunteers working together to exercise their gifts for the kingdom. Financially we aspire to give away much more to local and global missions than we spend on our own church salaries, buildings, and equipment.
