What is Prepare the Jars

PREPARE THE JARS is a year-end, all-church spiritual journey to grow our faith, our generosity, and our impact.


Inspired by the story in 2 Kings 4, where God provided after the widow gathered empty vessels, PREPARE THE JARS is our end-of-year special offering dedicated to future readiness for our church’s upcoming move. Plus, 10% of all gifts go directly toward church planting to reach new communities. Your above-and-beyond support builds a strong, stable foundation today so we are fully equipped for whatever God has in store tomorrow. We should tell you: we do believe in setting the goal so high that we can only hit it with God showing up big!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does this mean we have found land or we will be moving soon?

    No, this does not mean a move or a purchase is happening anytime soon. Finding property, securing permits, and planning expansion takes time, often years. This offering is about preparing the jars now so that when the right door opens in the future, we have the strength and flexibility to walk through it without rushing or taking on unnecessary financial stress.

  • Is this a capital campaign?

    No. A capital campaign is usually a multi-year pledge drive for a specific project, and this is not that. This is a year-end offering that we plan to hold each December. We believe that setting the goal high will allow us to move quickly to make a down payment or renovate a building when the opportunity arises.

  • How much money do we need to raise before we can actually do something?

    Because we aren't rushing into a specific property contract today, we aren't setting an artificial, "all-or-nothing" final number. Instead, every dollar given builds our readiness reserve. Our leadership will continually evaluate our financial posture and growth so we only move forward when it is financially healthy and wise to do so.
