5% Back to the Community
The Vineyard Church Generosity Fund continues in 2024! All this year we’re giving 5% of our general offerings back to our community.
In the fall of 2019, the leadership of Vineyard Church sensed God calling us to make 2020 a year for living generously. In addition to our ministry to the poor and general budget expenditures for local, national, and global outreach, we felt led to give a set percentage of our monthly tithes and offerings to a local cause, charity, or ministry that was not affiliated with Vineyard Church. In 2020, we gave away more than 35,000! In 2021, we gave away more than $38,000! In 2022, we gave away more than $35,000! In 2023, we gave away more than $31,000! And we’re doing it again in 2024! This expression of generosity is made possible because of those who faithfully give to Vineyard Church.
