Grow Faith during our
Inaugural Match Month
October 2023
Q & A
Q. Why should I give during Match Month this October?
A. We are grateful people and God has blessed us generously. Now we are invited to respond with a generosity of our own to what God has given us.
2 Corinthians 9:7 (NRSV) Each of you should give what you have decided in your hearts to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Q. What does the match support?
A. Your gift and the match will help fuel our ongoing programs and initiatives. We offer multiple opportunities for individuals and families to grow in God's love through fellowship with one another in regular Worship, mid-week bible studies, small group discussion gatherings, and Sunday morning discipleship classes. We live out our love for God in service by participating in community outreach programs including support of the Flint Hills Breadbasket, Shepherd's Crossing, Cub Scout Troop 74, and our From Cradles to Crayons childcare to name a few.
Q. How much is the match.
A. Every gift is matched 100%, up to $100,000. If you give $100, the match is $100. The impact of your gift is doubled!
Q. How can I make a gift?
A. There are several ways to give.

Q. Should I still make my regular tithe? How is this different?

Q. I'm not a member or affiliated with First Christian Church. Can I still make a gift?

Q. Is there any giving that won't be matched?
A. Yes, the match does not apply to grocery gift card purchases, donations for memorials, Reconciliation Ministry offerings, or any other giving made for a specific purpose. This is an opportunity to make a gift that will support our mission to serve God, to grow and deepen our faith, and to spread the love of God's kingdom throughout our community and the world.
