Please consider partnering with us this spring above and beyond your normal giving. We’re excited to focus on several opportunities for you to make a significant impact on current and future ministry. View the opportunies below for all details.

We spend the vast majority of money we are given each year to minister to our community and partner communities around the world. Village’s “outward focused” ministry to Portland neighborhoods, our ministries for the congregation, and our investment in training church leaders to witness outside our walls is growing and exciting! This spring we’ve identified several “inward focused” areas that every Villager can take part in so that both our people and facility have a continued impact on those who come to our campus. Please pray about participating in opportunities ranging from updates to preserve and re-energize beloved spaces to investing in the future of our church leaders.

We are called to give generously and cheerfully out of our love for God and our neighbor. We give our whole selves (talents, gifts, time, and finances) in worship of our Maker who is the true owner of all that we have. We give as an eternal investment and believe that God rewards us as we participate with Him in His mission.

Our greatest need is gifts to our Ministry Offering as we have great flexibility in using that money. However, if your employer allows matching gifts to nonprofit organizations, please note our Grace Offering is used to meet the felt needs of both Villagers and our non-church going neighbors. This is considered a non-religious offering and meets the requirements for most employers.

Contributions to the Church are tax-deductible as allowed by law. The Church has complete discretion and control over the use of donated offerings. Offerings donated for a designated purpose will be used for that purpose until it is fully funded or after 12 months, after which any excess offerings may be reallocated to the Ministry Offering.

As part of our annual budget, we make monthly payments on the loan taken to build our Worship Center in 2009. If you want to give above and beyond regular gifts to the Ministry Offering, gifts to the Building Fund are always welcome.
