We are so excited to see what God is going to do through Above + Beyond 2021! Our prayer has been for God to open doors in areas of opportunity He wants us to go after, and to slam shut the doors in areas He doesn’t. God has provided several exciting opportunities we hope to pursue through Above + Beyond 2021!
Our theme this year is Give. Serve. Love. We want to give generously above what we normally give because He gave everything. We want to sacrifice because He made the ultimate sacrifice, and in return, we ask God to use our generosity and our sacrifice to do things beyond what we can imagine.

The Collection for the Lord’s People
1And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. 2In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. 3For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, 4they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord’s people. 5And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us. 6So we urged Titus, just as he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion this act of grace on your part. 7But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
8I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others. 9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich. —2 Corinthians 8:1-9 NIV
