QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q: What is Ever Faithful?

A: Ever Faithful is a three-year campaign to retire the church's existing debt on the new children's building. The church still owes about $3.7 million from the project. Scriptures remind us that God is ever faithful in blessing His people (Deut. 34:6) and we are called to be faithful in our walk with Him. (Mark 8:34)

Q: What will this money be used for?

A: It's already being used every Sunday in the children's building, which provides clean, safe classrooms where God's Word is taught to young people. It also is being used in updated20choir rooms, kitchen facilities and an inviting welcome area.

Q: How can I be expected to give in tough economic times?

A: Everyone is grappling with a tight budget these days. But everything we have belongs to Him. (Psalm 24:1) Part of following Jesus means trusting in Him to find the right amount to give. (I Peter 5:7)

Q: After we pay off the debt, what's next?

A: Eliminating the debt will allow the church to pursue a long-term strategy to serve the Southside community and beyond through missions, evangelism, and other outreaches. The church is called to boldly spread the word of Jesus (Mark 16:15) to the ends of the earth. Money given to retire the debt means more opportunities to share the knowledge of Jesus' redeeming work with those who need to hear it.
