What is

Give It Away

Summary

As we begin to know Jesus and live out knowing Him, we are motivated to share and invite others into that relationship. Give It Away exists to equip Life Groups, families and individuals, to regularly engage being on mission locally and take part in missions globally to share the love of Jesus and make disciples of all nations!

Mission & Missions

Mission is seeing our everyday lives as an opportunity for showing and sharing the Gospel to our neighbors, co-workers, friends, and family. Missions is taking part in unique opportunities to share the Gospel with others that we may not normally interact with on a day to day basis!
