At our 9am and 11am Services we will announce the results of our BEYOND journey. On this day, we will together bring our first Beyond gift and give together as we kick off this 2 year generosity journey.

First and foremost, we are asking that you pray and seek God’s direction on what He is asking of you. Prepare your heart to hear Him and then listen to what He says. Take your next step. Engage in personal reflection with God in this guide. Talk with your spouse, your family, or others about what this commitment will mean for this next exciting season of your life.

We are asking that you make a sacrificial commitment to gospel-centered generosity—whatever it is that God leads you to do. Follow His leading.

Finally, we ask that you prepare to be amazed. We serve an awesome God, and He is going to move in huge ways. We anticipate an unprecedented impact from our collective Beyond commitments—something only God can do. Please mark your calendar for Commitment Sunday, June 2nd and prepare to experience a life- changing worship service that will forever be remembered as a defining moment for our church and our own faith.

We are more focused on everyone at HOPE CHURCH seeing their giving as an integral part of the discipleship process and then being challenged by God to take a next step. The bulk of this notebook is focused on helping us dig into some key Biblical principles that guide us in this area as we follow Jesus. This is our first priority—100% engagement in the process. Even if someone wrote us a check today for our secondary goal of $8.4M, we would still do this initiative. Whether we’re just starting in our giving journey or we’re very committed givers, we all have a next step to take and room to grow in this area.

Our current annual giving is approximately $1.2M, which multiplied by two years is $2.4M. So, in essence, we’re believing God to increase our resources by $6M over two years for a total of $8.4M.

Be creative as you explore ways you and your family can give toward Beyond. You might have some stocks, property, or other items of that nature. Or you may have stored resources that God has blessed you with in the past that He just might be calling you to give during this time.

Beyond was crafted specifically with you in mind. Beyond is a “one fund” generosity initiative. It’s different from a traditional capital campaign where you are called to give an extra gift above and beyond your normal giving, thus creating two steps for people who aren’t yet giving. Beyond is a call to sacrificial, gospel-centered generosity for absolutely everyone at Hope Church. If you have never given before, this is your chance to get in the game with a committed sacrifice. We really hope you will.

We are asking that everyone make a two-year (24-month) commitment. The fulfillment period for your commitment will begin with Big Give Sunday on June 23 and it will culminate in June of 2026.

Beyond is about the vision for our church and our personal discipleship in giving as followers of Jesus. We be- lieve that the local church is one of the most compelling missions to give toward, and we would really love for you to make Hope Church your home and join us in Beyond. If you are ready for it, this is a perfect time for you to put a stake in the ground and make this your church. The best way to get on the team is to fill out a Connect Card and take it to the Connect Center or fill one out online at www.hopechurchmt.com/next.

Beyond is about your total, radical, sacrificial generosity to God’s mission at Hope Church. We believe that God calls us to action in times of hardship just as much as He does in times of abundance, and that looks

different for every person. Beyond is about a heart change—one that is only accomplished by surrendering our lives completely over to God in this area of giving and declaring that we are a people who are unfinished. That may mean that you are being challenged to sell things, to pick up odd jobs, or even to trust God in faith by making a commitment that you don’t quite know how God will provide for yet. We invite you to continue to seek for ways to work towards that commitment. We would like for 100% of us to be a part of Beyond so that we can all be supporting, loving, encouraging, and praying for one another through this spiritually-stretching season at Hope Church.

If you are someone currently seeking to make payments to pay off debt right now, we commend you for making progress on that. And you should continue to do so. We would be happy to help you in this journey and/or to recommend a budgeting class that might minister to you. Being in debt does not, however, “excuse” someone from giving. Giving isn’t about what God wants from you; rather, it’s about what God wants for you. It should be our joy and privilege to give at all times. Please visit email office@hopechurchmt.com if you need assistance with this or if you would like to speak with a budgeting counselor. We would be honored to help you!

Great question. People take different spiritual steps at different times. Some people begin praying before they begin attending church. Others begin going to a small group meeting before they begin talking to God in prayer. Giving is another spiritual step, and it comes at different times for different people. However, just like other spiritual disciplines, giving draws us closer to God. God is calling ALL of us to give.

“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:21)

Whether you have taken the spiritual step of baptism or not, we would encourage you to join us in Beyond. We firmly believe it will draw you closer to God and hopefully to a place where you are ready to make the decision to become baptized and to surrender your life to the Lordship of Christ.

If you are ready to get baptized, complete a Connect Card or sign up online: www.hopechurchmt.com/next

While our hope is to raise the funds to complete the project debt free, we will plan to finance a portion of the project if needed.
