When you give to Fairhaven, your generosity makes a profound impact. One of the best ways to make a Kingdom difference is by supporting the local church, and your gifts help people find hope here in the Dayton area and around the world!
Your generosity fuels ministries that transform lives – equipping children, students, and adults to follow Jesus, supporting under-resourced individuals and families in our community, and empowering our global staff to bring the Gospel to the farthest corners of the earth.
Each Sunday in December, we’re sharing a different story that highlights how your giving makes a difference. Together, let’s build a legacy of hope that extends beyond what any of us could do alone!
DECEMBER 1: Embodying the hope of Jesus
Over the past two months, we’ve explored the six timeless essentials of our vision to embrace and embody the hope of Jesus. These essentials aren’t just ideas; they’re a call to action, a roadmap for transforming lives through faith, generosity, and service. Your giving will help bring this vision to life, equipping our church to take next steps to embody hope in tangible ways that impact individuals, families, and communities.
DECEMBER 8: Empowering the next generation
We’re passionate about equipping kids, students, and residents to lead and live as Christ-followers. This year, kids across our campuses memorized over 1,000 Bible verses, writing God’s Word on their hearts. Our residents (young leaders in ministry training) are stepping into meaningful leadership roles. Across all campuses, student ministries are growing and reaching more students than ever with the love of Jesus. Your generosity ensures the next generation is ready to lead with faith and purpose.
DECEMBER 15: Love and care for others
At Fairhaven, we’re committed to being the hands and feet of Jesus, especially for people in crisis and those who do not know Him. From local initiatives like providing Christmas gifts and recovery ministries like Celebrate Recovery to global missions and disaster relief, your generosity enables us to embody Jesus’ love and care for those in need.
DECEMBER 22: Inspiring next steps
We celebrate every step people take in their faith journey, from joining a group, to deciding to follow Jesus. This year alone, over 670 people made decisions for Jesus, and 180 were baptized across all our campuses! One inspiring story is Dave Philips, who, at 84 years old, chose to be baptized as a way to witness to his family. His bold step opened the door for meaningful conversations about faith with his children and grandchildren. Your generosity makes stories like Dave’s possible, creating opportunities for people to take their next steps toward embodying Jesus.
