Christmas is the season of giving because God first gave to us. Each year, we join together to bring the hope of Jesus to places that need it most, across our city, our nation, and our world. These needs are met when our whole church family steps in together.

This Christmas, we’re inviting our whole church family to practice that same generosity with our time and our resources. Together, we’ll serve our neighbors and give toward work that brings the hope of Jesus to our city, across our nation, and around the world.

Our goal is 100% participation—everyone serving and everyone giving. If you call Create home, we’re inviting you to take two steps:

1. Serve through a community service project.

Join others from Create to meet practical needs and love our neighbors through hands-on service. Most projects will take place on Saturday, November 21, with additional projects happening on other dates. Choose a project, sign up, and come ready to make a difference alongside your church family.

2. Give above and beyond your regular tithes and offerings.

Prayerfully consider a special gift to the Christmas Offering. Your regular giving supports the ongoing ministry of Create Church. This additional gift will support missions here, near, and far:

• HERE: Helping our own people through benevolence.
• NEAR: Supporting Jeff Oleson with Cru at SDSU and San Diego Rescue Mission as they serve our city.
• FAR: Bringing practical help through Convoy of Hope and planting churches through Orchard Group and Strategic Launch Network.

We each have different resources, but every one of us has a part to play. Ask God how you can serve and what you can give, then take that step with faith and generosity.

To participate, select “Christmas Offering” when you give starting December 1st. Together, we can help people experience the love of Jesus in real, tangible ways—here, near, and far.

OUR GOAL: $50,000 

WHERE YOUR GIFT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

HERE — Supporting local nonprofits making an impact in our city, creating a patio space for guests to feel at home and fueling weekly ministry.

NEAR — Strengthening church plants in strategic and hard-to-reach cities across the United States.

FAR — Partnering with Convoy of Hope to bring relief, food, and the hope of Jesus to vulnerable communities around the world.

When you give, you help people experience the love of Jesus in real, tangible ways—here, near, and far. Together, we can make a lasting impact this Christmas. Thank you for being a church that loves deeply, gives boldly, and brings light into dark places.

OUR HEART FOR GENEROSITY

We believe that Jesus is the perfect model of generosity.

We believe that we have all we need in Him.

We resist the worldly pursuit of riches.

We desire to be trustworthy with money so that God might entrust us with true riches.

We desire to increase in generosity until no person among us has need.

Above all, we joyfully pursue generosity as we seek to become like Jesus and do what He did.
