At SouthPoint Church, we are on the brink of an exciting new chapter. Our "Launching a Legacy" initiative is more than a building project; it's a monumental step forward in our mission to connect people to Christ, Community, and a Cause. To begin this journey, we are coming together for a special, one-time "Kickstart" offering on Sunday, October 26, 2025. This single event is essential to turning our shared vision into a reality.

This sacrificial gift will provide the initial momentum to launch construction of our new church facility. Projects of this scale come with significant upfront costs—for planning, permits, and site preparation—that fall outside our regular operating budget. The Kickstart offering is designed specifically to meet these initial needs, clearing the path for the incredible work God has called us to do. We are asking everyone in our church family to consider how they can participate in this pivotal moment prayerfully.

Why a Kickstart Offering?

Imagine building a home. Before you can even lay the foundation, you need architectural plans, land surveys, and city permits. These are crucial, foundational expenses that must be covered before the first wall goes up. Our Kickstart offering works in the same way. It’s the initial investment that unlocks the entire construction process, allowing us to move forward with confidence and good stewardship.

By contributing to this one-time gift, you are not just giving to a building fund; you are making a direct investment in our church's future. You are helping to create the space where countless lives will be changed, families will find hope, and the next generation will build a strong foundation of faith. The success of our "Launching a Legacy" initiative begins here, with this powerful act of collective giving.

Ways to Participate in This Defining Moment

Participating in the Kickstart offering is a personal decision between you and God. It’s about more than just the amount; it’s about a heart of generosity and a spirit of sacrifice. We encourage you to pray and ask for guidance on how your family can contribute. To help you think through the possibilities, here are several ways you might consider giving.

Giving Through Income and Sacrifice

For many, giving is a regular practice tied to their income. You can also create opportunities for generosity by making intentional lifestyle changes.

• Income Stream Giving: This is a straightforward way to give as you receive your regular paycheck. You can decide on a specific portion of your income to dedicate to the Kickstart offering.
• Lifestyle Sacrifice: Consider a temporary change in your lifestyle or reprioritizing your budget to free up additional funds. This could mean forgoing daily coffee shop visits, eating out less for a season, or pausing a subscription service. These small, intentional sacrifices can add up to a meaningful gift.
• Delaying Expenditures: Is there a major purchase you plan, such as a vacation, a new gadget, or a home renovation? Prayerfully consider if you could delay that expenditure and redirect those funds toward this legacy project.

Giving Through Your Assets

Beyond regular income, many of us have been blessed with assets that can be used for kingdom impact. Giving from these resources can often allow for greater generosity than you might have thought possible.

• Giving Appreciated Assets: Do you own stocks, mutual funds, or real estate that has increased in value? Transferring these appreciated assets directly to the church can be a wise and impactful way to give.
• Sale of Assets: You may have personal or business assets that you could sell to contribute to the offering. This could be anything from a vehicle, a boat, or a piece of jewelry to business equipment.
• Savings and Investments: Look at your accumulated savings and investments. You may find that you can give a portion of these assets without significantly affecting your long-term financial security.
• Income-Producing Assets: If you have rental properties, business investments, or other assets that generate income, consider giving the interest earned or a portion of that income as your Kickstart gift.

A Step of Faith, A Legacy of Hope

This Kickstart offering on Sunday, October 26th, is more than a fundraising event. It is a collective step of faith. It’s an opportunity for us to unite with a common purpose and make a sacrificial gift that will echo for generations to come. Every dollar given will go directly toward launching a new era of ministry for SouthPoint Church.

We invite you to join us in prayer and preparation for this special day. Ask God to show you how you can be a part of this story. Together, we can build a legacy that will continue to connect people to the life-changing love of Jesus for years to come.
