Overflow is a two-year discipleship journey focused on extravagant generosity. It's about allowing God’s love to fill us and flow through us—here, there, and everywhere.

We are called to grow into the image of Jesus, stretching beyond our comfort zones. The Spirit is leading us to go deeper into God’s heart and Jesus’ mission, overflowing with His love like never before.

Overflow will strengthen our connection to God and supercharge our disciple-making efforts, uniting us as we join God in restoring a broken world.

Overflow reflects God’s heart for sacrificial generosity. As we look to the example of Jesus and the early church, we seek to respond to God’s call by generously giving to advance His mission.

Locally, Overflow will help saturate our community with the Good News of Jesus, ensuring no street, neighborhood, school, or workplace is left untouched.

Globally, we’ll partner with Missions of Hope International to break the cycle of violence in northern Kenya and launch a movement of restoration.

Our elders and finance team are wisely managing expenses to align with our giving and prioritizing our budget for maximum kingdom impact. We're grateful to have a gifted team of stewards leading and serving in this way. We believe God is calling us to move beyond maintenance and reach the lost, not just here, but everywhere. This is about stepping up in faith to join God’s mission, not just balancing the budget.

We are inspired by the sacrificial love of Jesus, who gave up His riches for our sake (2 Corinthians 8:9). We want to follow the example of the Christians in the church in Corinth who gave freely out of their poverty to express their love and to support those in greater need (2 Corinthians 8:3-5).

No. Overflow has been planned for over a year and is not tied to any current budget shortfall. 100% of the funds raised will be used for urgent needs in Kenya and local Gospel saturation, not our operating budget.

The Dream Goal is $1.25M over two years, with a Celebration Goal of $750,000. Every dollar will flow into three key areas: Kenya, local mission, and debt reduction.

• $250,000 (20%) will go to Kenya for a Missions of Hope International school and adopting an unreached tribe.
• 10% will support Gospel saturation locally, mobilizing disciple-makers, everyday missionaries, and fueling new partnerships with local churches.
• 70% will go toward debt reduction for the Community Commons.

The cry for help is clear, and God is calling us to respond. Missions of Hope can begin their work immediately with our support, and lives are hanging in the balance.

We have strong oversight and financial transparency and will provide detailed reports and updates on how funds are being used for each initiative.

Even if we don’t reach the Dream Goal, the first $250,000 will still go to Kenya, and 10% of the funds raised will go toward local Gospel saturation. Any remainder will go toward debt reduction.

If we exceed the goal, after the initial $250,000 to Kenya and 10% for local mission, the surplus will go towards paying down debt and, if that is met, into a designated building fund for future expansion.

You’ll receive regular updates in services and by email, including how funds are being used, and we’ll share stories of impact locally and globally as the initiative progresses.

Reducing debt positions us for future growth and expansion, saving us significant interest in the long run. It helps ensure that we can continue growing without being constrained by debt.

We currently have about $2.75 million in debt, with over $400,000 already set aside for future construction. Our plan is to reduce debt by 32%, positioning us for future growth without having unmanageable payments.

We ask you to prayerfully consider what God is calling you to give. Your sacrificial and joyful generosity will advance His mission to restore a broken world through making disciples.

We’re asking each person to give what God leads them to give. This may look different for everyone, and it will be both a sacrifice and a joy.

We are asking for both types:

• Upfront: Make a bold gift during Commitment Weekend (April 12-13).
• Ongoing: Set up weekly or monthly giving through June 2027.

Yes, we encourage gifts of stocks, real estate, cars, or other assets. Please reach out to discuss these options at info@lscommunity.org.

You can also refer to this Creative Giving Resources document.

Commitments and initial gifts will be received on Commitment Weekend (April 12-13). You can still participate if you can’t attend by making your pledge online at www.lscommunity.org/give at any point during the two year journey.

Yes, we encourage everyone to give sacrificially according to what God calls them to, even if you’re already giving generously.

We understand life circumstances can change. If you need to adjust your commitment, please reach out to us—we’re here to support you.

The campaign is a two-year journey, officially concluding in June 2027.

As funds are raised, we will begin allocating them immediately for the Kenya initiatives. You can expect monthly updates on the impact of your gifts.

Small groups will be a key part of helping to spread the vision, share the story, and pray for the initiatives. We encourage everyone to engage with the campaign in their groups.

Yes! Prayer support is crucial. We’ll have a week of prayer (April 7-11) and a special 24-hour prayer event April 11-12. These will be great opportunities for you, your family, and your small group to collectively participate in praying for the Overflow discipleship journey together. All our prayers and participation in the discipleship journey are vital to the success of Overflow.
