Think of all the change we can make together.
We can send a global worker to a people group who have never heard the gospel message. We can build a school, send medical supplies, or fund a feeding program. We can continue to give scholarships to students and provide youth counselling to those who cannot access it. We can create job and mentorship opportunities. We can provide emergency relief and practical needs within our community.What is Project Impact?
We’re all about increasing our kingdom impact! This initiative is designed to harness our collective giving power, over and above our regular church tithe. The projects we support fall under 3 main categories:
Missions
We care that people around the world hear and experience the reality of the Gospel through missions work.
GOAL: $25,000
Youth Empowerment
We are passionately committed to empowering our young people through jobs, education, and access to the support they need to grow into future Christian leaders and world changers.
GOAL: $50,000
Community Care
We have always been generous in caring for those in our church family who are in crisis, as well as in extending care to our neighbours who need to feel the tangible love of the Church.
GOAL: $25,000
2025 projects
1. MISSIONS // Goal: $ 25,000
MISSIONS
1.1 Ukraine
Despite the many challenges facing Ukraine (war, poverty, high addiction rates) God is working to bring hope. This year we’re partnering with a church planting initiative based just outside the Eastern warzone. In addition to planting six churches in the surrounding region, this ministry also started an addiction recovery centre. The centre is home to several agricultural projects including four greenhouses, sheep, chickens, and potato fields. The vision is for this church planting movement to become completely self-sustaining by expanding their farming resources. Our funds will help them invest in a greenhouse heating system to allow for year-round production.
1.2 Jamaica
Building Me Up, a ministry started by our own Alecia Griffiths, aims to provide children in rural and economically disadvantaged communities with the opportunity to mature spiritually, achieve their potential, excel and become leaders. Programs, summer camps, and free events are offered annually in various communities. Last year, Building Me Up provided tablets to distribute to children disadvantaged by Covid-19 and sent crates of food, clothing and educational resources to local churches and schools.
1.3 India
1.4 Emergency Relief & Development Overseas (ERDO)
We’re thrilled to support ERDO who works with communities all over the world, listening and passionately responding to their practical needs, like food, shelter, medicine, and clean water. Whether it’s an earthquake in Myanmar, a war in Gaza, or famine in Africa, ERDO partners with global and local churches to give families immediate help. In addition, ERDO through their initiatives provides skills and resources to break out of poverty such as education, community development, and childcare sponsorships to name a few.
2. YOUTH EMPOWERMENT // Goal: $ 50,000
2.1 Student missions trips
We believe in the life changing power of sending a young person on a mission’s trip. Jesus in fact calls all of us to go, but there is something transformative and life impacting when a young person discovers the joys of going early on in life. Not only do they see the world from a completely different perspective thus learning to be appreciative of what they do have, their faith will come alive, as they see the Bible being re-enacted through people being loved, comforted, healed, and set free. We believe every young person should have an opportunity to go, and this fund helps us do just that.
2.2 Student Scholarships
2.3 Mental health support
Our society is facing a mental health crisis, which is particularly evident among our young people. This project aims to provide subsidized counselling for teens and young adults who face barriers to mental health services so they can access the support and care they need to heal and thrive.
3. COMMUNITY CARE // Goal: $ 25,000
