“All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had . . . For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need” Acts 4:32; 34
As Christians, the Bible teaches us to respect, take care of, and honor God’s money. Doing so creates the financial freedom that allows us to be generous to those in need. At The Creek, we strive to be good stewards of what God has given us and want to live out the biblical mandate of caring for our neighbors (1 Tim 6:18). Out of this commitment, the Generous Ministry has been formed to care for those in our community who are experiencing trouble securing the necessities of life- things such as food, shelter, and utilities.
If you are in need of assistance, please complete the Request Form provided below and return it to The Creek either by U.S. mail or dropping it off at the church during office hours. Your request will be kept confidential and someone from the Generous Ministry will contact you to discuss your request.
If you are not the one in need but referring someone for help, please complete the Referral Form. A member of the Generous Ministry will call you before making contact with the person or persons you are referring to gain your insight into the situation and explore ways in which you may be able to play a part in any assistance provided.
Please note the Generous Ministry is not equipped to handle emergency requests. It takes at least two weeks to process a request or referral. If you are in need and your need cannot wait two weeks we suggest you contact conncect2help.org or call 211 to find other resources in the area.
