BIG GIVE 2025
As we enter this season of generosity, we’re excited to launch our Finish Strong: Strengthen & Bless end-of-year Big Give campaign. This is a moment each year when we pause to celebrate God’s goodness and respond with gratitude.
God’s generosity toward our church has been unmistakable — through outreach and community-building moments, disciples of Jesus made, leaders raised up, and lives continually transformed by the gospel. We’re so grateful for what He’s done in 2025.
Through Finish Strong, we’re inviting our church to worship through giving in two meaningful ways:
Our heart is not simply to close a financial gap — it’s to celebrate God’s generosity by reflecting it. Every gift, large or small, helps us strengthen our church and bless others as we enter the new year together.
We look forward to sharing more throughout the month as we journey through this season of gratitude, worship, and joyful generosity.

Through Finish Strong, we’re inviting our church to worship through giving in two meaningful ways:
- Strengthen the Church: We currently have a $61,000 year-end shortfall, and our goal is to raise $40,000 toward “Budget Recovery” — a special giving category created for this Big Give — so our church can finish 2025 healthy and ready for what God has ahead in 2026.
- Bless Others: We’re also believing for $10,000 toward our Alms Fund, which goes directly to serving individuals and families in need within our church and community this season.

At ENCS, our mission is to “To honor God and make disciples of Jesus Christ who love well”. Jesus commanded all His followers to “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations”. But how do we actually do this? What does discipleship look like at ENCS?
This Sunday at 1:30 pm, join us for a training to learn how we can be the church God has called us to be-- a growing family of “Acts 2” community groups, where every person can experience the transformative love of Jesus.

As we continue growing as disciples who follow Jesus in everyday life, we’re hosting an ENCS Food Drive to help meet real needs in our city.
This is a practical way to be the hands and feet of Jesus—by bringing donations, volunteering at the University District Food Bank, and praying for our neighbors.
