Legacy Offering

From November 26 through December 31 we plan to give generously, above and beyond our regular tithes, as an act of worship that demonstrates our faith in what God has called our church to pursue in 2024.

What is the Legacy Offering?

An offering is a gift given over and above our tithes that serves a specific purpose. The Legacy Offering asks us to consider the investment that we are making in the life of our missions partners and our own church community.

Through this offering we will fund a series of vision-based initiatives that we have planned for 2024.

A Note from Pastor Gerry

As I reflect on 2023 I am humbled by how God continued his work in the life of this community. This year our church has grown by every discernible metric and we are excited by how the Lord will continue to lead us into the future and all that he has in store for us as a collective. I invite you to join with us as we give over and above our regular tithes to accomplish something together that we could never achieve alone.

OUR GOAL FOR THE LEGACY OFFERING BY DECEMBER 31 IS

338 Unique Adult Givers

By tracking a participation goal we rightly recognize that giving isn’t about how much we give, rather that we do give—regardless of the amount.

Total Givers: 240
Total Given: $96,326

This Legacy Offering will fund a series of vision-based initiatives that we have planned for 2024, including but not limited to, support for local and global missions work and upgrades to our Children’s and Student Ministry spaces.

  • a. Rose Church is a young church plant in Winnipeg that has spent the past two years meeting in the Polo Park Cineplex. Having recently secured a building of their own in Transcona, they are currently renovating and planning to launch services in their new location in November. In Soul’s early years we were blessed by another established Winnipeg church with a financial donation. Our desire is to pay forward the gift we once received by helping another Winnipeg church.

    b. Founded in 2006, Little Hands Kenya (a ministry of Helping Hands Kenya) offers an inclusive education program for preschool and primary school children with intellectual and physical disabilities. A part of our Legacy Offering will support the purchase of playground equipment and new technology for their computer lab.

  • The majority of the audio and visual equipment in our Children’s and Student ministry rooms is original to Soul Sanctuary from 2004 and needs to be upgraded. These upgrades will reduce technological disruptions in our ministry areas. A part of our Legacy Offering will cover the costs of new audio and visual equipment in our Soul Kids room and Student Centre.

  • Recognizing that our church community is in a season of growth, we have and will continue to invest resources into strategic areas that serve to further our vision of being a community of refuge, repair, and rejuvenation for all people. A part of our Legacy Offering will cover strategic vision-based expenditures in our 2023 operating budget at the discretion of the Steering Committee.
