THE TIME TO BUILD CAMPAIGN

WHAT IS IT?

A focus on growing, sowing and going in FAITH.

It is impossible to please God without faith. Hebrews 11:6

4 PURPOSES OF TIME TO BUILD

1. TO ADVANCE SPIRITUAL MATURITY BY

STRETCHING OUR FAITH

When your faith is tested, your endurance has a

chance to grow. James 1:3-4

2. TO ENHANCE RELATIONAL UNITY BY

COOPERATING TOGETHER All the believers were united in heart and mind …

Acts 4:32-35

3. TO HELP FINANCE RELOCATION of CHURCH,

SCHOOL, CHILDCARE

I want you to excel also in this gracious act of giving.

2 Corinthians 8:7

EQUAL SACRIFICE, NOT EQUAL GIFTS

Obviously, God has not given everyone the ability to give the

same amount in dollars. However, God does call us to make

the same quality of commitment.

4. TO HONOR THE EVERYDAY HEROES OF FAITH

SERVING IN OUR CHURCH FAMILY

give him the honor that people like him deserve.

Philippians 2:25, 29

WHAT WE WON’T DO

1. WON’T PRESSURE you to give.

2. WON’T SELL anything!

3. WON’T PROMOTE PRODUCTS mixed with giving.

WHAT WE WILL DO

1. Show how everyone can give something’.

2. Ask people to sacrifice

3. Follow the biblical pattern for an offering in 1

Chronicles 29.
