Legacy Offering
From October 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 2026.
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 2026.
2025 LEGACY OFFERING

A Note from Pastor Gerry
Soul Sanctuary family, I wanted to take a moment to share an update about our Legacy Offering for 2025. Every year around this time, we invite our Soul community to reflect on God’s goodness and generosity and look ahead at how we can make a lasting impact as we move into a new year.
This is our chance to rise above our regular giving and continue making a real difference both locally and globally. The Steering Committee has set a goal of $150,000 to reach our initiatives. Through your generosity, we’ll be able to take on 4 amazing initiatives this year that our Steering Committee has prayerfully set before us:
-
We want every parent with little ones to feel welcome and cared for here at Soul. That’s why we’re creating a more private and comfortable area for nursing moms, a space that truly says, you belong here
-
Our current projectors have served us well for the past 11+ years, but it’s time for an upgrade! This will help ensure our technology supports our gatherings and keeps the focus where it belongs, on worship, not on distractions.
-
As our community keeps growing, the Steering Committee has prayerfully been considering the question; “What’s next, God?” Space is getting tight, and we know expansion may be on the horizon. This year, part of our Legacy Offering will go towards the Bricklayers Fund; laying the financial foundation for any expansion or building project
-
We’re teaming up with ERDO (Emergency Relief and Development Overseas, the PAOC’s humanitarian arm) to help equip an Operating Room in the Turkana region of Kenya. The funds will help complete a surgical theatre at the Namorupth Health Center, which provides essential care to about 42,000 people in a region where medical resources are scarce.
Here’s the best part, every dollar given to this project will be matched up to $20,000, meaning we could raise up to $40,000 total!
God does something powerful in us when we give. Every time we choose generosity, we push back against the pull of materialism and step closer to the heart of Jesus; the one who said, “It’s more blessed to give than to receive”. My prayer for all of us is that God continues to shape our hearts to look more like His, overflowing with generosity, love, and good works that point back to His glory. Thank you for being part of the story God is writing here at Soul Sanctuary and for giving toward this year’s Legacy Offering. Together, we’re making a difference that will last far beyond 2025.
With love and gratitude,
Pastor Gerry Michalski
