Holiday Missions Offering 2022
Christmas is a time for us to model the heart of God in giving to others. Each year, we celebrate what God has done as we give toward our Holiday Missions Offering.
Our generosity toward these missionaries, ministries, and agencies is a wonderful opportunity for us to show our love and gratitude to Christ by giving so that His gospel may be declared around our world, beginning in Blacksburg!
Just as Jesus said in Acts 1:8, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Blacksburg, Christiansburg, Radford, and surrounding areas are our Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria. As people of God, we must start where we are now and "to the ends of the earth."

- If you’re giving online, select the “Holiday Missions Offering” on the fund option.
- You can bring your money at any time between now and the end of December, but during our December Nights services, we will have a special offering in addition to our regular offering.
