Be Generous

2 Corinthians 9:6-7

Generosity is an act of worship, responding to God’s goodness for all He has done. Generosity is an opportunity to invest in advancing the mission of our church in our communities to lead more people to know, love, and follow Jesus. Be Generous is the way we describe financial giving that goes above and beyond regular tithes. 

 Sunday, November 29, is Be Generous Sunday. When you give above and beyond through Be Generous, every dollar you give will go toward three specific Kingdom causes: missions, launching a new pre-teen ministry, and investing in our campuses!

KINGDOM WORK

GIVE NOW!

Give above and beyond to fund three specific Kingdom causes: Local Missions, including Venture's Christmas Store; the launch of a brand-new preteen ministry called "The Crossing"; and campus upgrades, including the expansion of The Stone County Campus. 

Missions

At Venture Church, a missional mindset starts right here at home in South Mississippi, serving our local communities to make a difference every day. Through local missions, we come alongside our neighbors in need, bringing hope, support, and the love of Jesus to the places where we live and serve.

For many families in our area, ensuring their kids have a memorable Christmas can be a financial burden. Through strategic partnerships with local schools, families facing financial challenges in each of our communities are able to shop for their children at no cost.

This year, when you give above and beyond through Be Generous, your giving will be used to subsidize our Christmas Store outreach to ensure EVERY child and family served has the same life-changing experience.

New Preteen Ministry

Gospel-centered parenting is increasingly harder. Remember the pre-teen years? Being a pre-teen or parenting one is universally accepted as one of life's most challenging seasons. This age in a child's life is not just pivotal but deeply formative, and we want to do a better job partnering with parents as they raise children in an ever-changing world. That is why this year, your gifts through Be Generous will be used to launch a brand-new pre-teen ministry for 5th and 6th graders across all five campuses! Your giving will provide for the staffing, curriculum, and the build-out of environments needed to serve these students and families well.

Stone County Campus Expansion

God has been doing something undeniable at the Stone County Campus. Attendance, baptisms, House Church participation, kids and students ministry — all of it has grown consistently since the Stone County Campus launched.

With three full experiences every Sunday, our Stone County Campus has completely maxed out its space. Currently, an expansion project is underway to repurpose the current 250-seat auditorium into additional kids’ classrooms, and build a new 600-seat auditorium to accommodate future growth.

This expansion is the largest financial project in our church since launching a campus in Jones County in 2021. When you give to Be Generous, your giving will help complete this project along with other smaller campus upgrades to create environments that are more welcoming, effective, and ready for the next season of ministry.
