ADULTS: Faith Promise
Almost all of us have more than we truly need or could ever use. Beyond giving regularly to the Church, God asks us to stretch ourselves by sacrificing to meet the needs of others. A Faith Promise is a commitment to God to give by faith, above and beyond our tithe, to support our missionaries across the globe. This support provides funds for education, church planting, feeding, orphan and medical programs, to name a few.
While we encourage you to make a Faith Promise, it is not a requirement in order to give to missions. You can support our missionaries by designating "Missions Fund" online, on a giving envelope or on your check. When this designation is made 100% of those funds goes directly to the Missions Fund.

STUDENTS: Speed the Light (STL)
Speed the Light is the student-initiated, volunteer, charitable program that provides much-needed equipment to missionaries across the nation and in over 180 countries around the world. Since its beginning, STL has raised over $253 million for missionary equipment around the world.
The concept is simple: we give so others can speed the light of the gospel to a world in darkness. This is accomplished by providing the "essential transportation and creative communication" equipment for missionary evangelism. Through modern transportation, radio, television, the printed word, and equipment for mass evangelism, our missionaries can better fulfill the Great Commission.
BGMC is the AG program for kids that instills hearts of compassion to reach the lost through praying, giving, and going. All funds raised through BGMC go to meet critical needs around the world by supplying missionaries with supplies such as Bibles, literature, library & study books for the Bible colleges, computers, printers, photocopy machines, DVDs, puppets, costume animals, translating materials, and lots more. Many of these supplies could not be purchased if it were not for BGMC. BGMC is the ministry that provides whatever a missionary needs—where they need it and when they need it. It's like an emergency "ready" fund.
BGMC goes to where the need is the greatest, where the timing is the most urgent, and where people's lives can be changed forever. When you give to BGMC, you are helping an entire ministry team all at once! What an incredible opportunity to teach our children about being generous and thinking beyond ourselves.
