Giving Changes Lives! Impact 2025!
I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.
- Maya Angelou
We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.
- Winston Churchill
Do you know that giving changes lives? It is 100% true! The financial gifts you give to our church literally transform people’s lives. You might imagine I’m thinking about all the people whose lives we change by hosting Room in the Inn, partnering with Freedom School, or supporting RAIN. Or you may imagine I’m thinking about all the people whose lives are impacted by our public witness on LGBTQIA+ inclusivity, reproductive rights, anti-racism, immigrant protections, gun control, environmental justice, and more. But I’m also thinking about the way that our worship, community, programs, and caregiving are changing people’s lives every day. I’m also thinking about the incredible time and energy our ministers and staff give that is transforming the lives of our members and guests all the time. We are a transformative church! Simply dare yourself to imagine what the world and your life would be without Myers Park Baptist Church, and you can begin to feel the enormity of the impact we are making in your life.
This Stewardship season, we are inviting you to remember that your “Giving Changes Lives” and to make a commitment to “Impact 2025.” We expect 100% of our members and guests, who join us online or in-person, to participate in this campaign by giving the best that you and your family can to our church. You can begin by making a pledge for 2025, which helps us to plan and budget our resources in the coming year (the pledge form is available here). Or you can begin by setting up a recurring gift that will help sustain our church operations. Or you can make a first-time gift to demonstrate your commitment to the sustainability of our inclusive community of spirituality and social justice.
In 2025, we are making new investments to accelerate our Children’s Ministry, increase efficiency in operations, make needed upgrades to technology, maintain our beautiful campus facility, and support our ministers and staff who love us, care for us, teach us, serve us, help us, sing for us, lead us in worship, and preach the gospel.
There are so many ways to make an impact in 2025, but they all begin with making a gift of some kind. Every single gift, no matter how large or small, changes lives. From the bottom of our heart, we offer our deepest appreciation to you for taking the time to consider what you and your family can give. Thank you for helping us change lives and make an impact on people in 2025!
