Be Rich is an annual series to mobilize the church for extraordinary generosity and selfless service. The name is inspired by 1 Timothy 6:17–18: “Command those who are rich in this present world . . . to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.”

Each week of the campaign is dedicated to a call to action—a specific way we ask our attendees to be rich toward others:

WEEK 1: Give financially to help our nonprofit partners.
WEEK 2: Serve those around you.

We are excited to imagine the difference we can make—individually and collectively—joining together to be rich in good deeds, to be generous and willing to share. 

Meal Packing through Lifeline Christian Mission provides nutritious meals, both locally and globally to children and families who are impacted by hunger and malnutrition. Money given through BeRich will go towards our serve day on October 28, where we will pack meals for those struggling with hunger in the United States. A meal of rice and veggies will help give stability to these families who are living in uncertainty and spark hope for their future. When a healthy meal is given in Jesus’ name, that can change everything
