What is the Inspire Christmas Offering?
Christmas is a time for giving! The idea behind the annual Christmas Offering is that, as we buy gifts for other people, we want to include giving to Jesus as an important part of our Christmas celebration.
The Projects
This year, the goal for the Christmas Offering is $100,000. 100% of the donations to the Christmas Offering will be used to fund the following projects:
Unleash Compassion in our World
$50,000
Giving to our Nazarene Missions impacting people in 170 world areas, including our partners in Rio Bamba, Ecuador.
Purchase Church Van
$50,000
Facilitates travel to life-changing mission trips, camps, and events.
When will the offering be received?
The Christmas Offering will be received in the Sunday morning services on December 8, 2024. Giving envelopes will be available in addition to online giving.
If you will be out of town on December 8, 2024, or if you'd like to donate before that date, you can give online now at the link below. We are praying that everyone connected to Inspire Church will participate in the Christmas Offering.

Other Ways to Give
Did you know that you can donate stock to the church?
Some givers may want to consider giving stock to the church. If you donate stock that has appreciated in value, in most cases you can take a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock and avoid paying tax on the increase in the stock’s value. There are some limits imposed by the IRS, so consult your tax advisor for more information.
The church has an account set up with Charles Schwab for charitable contributions of stock. Please contact Brian Augustine for more information via email or 620-500-9996.
Did you know that you can make a donation from your IRA to the church?
If you are 70½ or better, you may be able transfer funds from your IRA to the church tax-free via a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). And, for those that are at least 73 years old, QCDs count toward any required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year. There are some limits imposed by the IRS, so consult your tax advisor for more information.
