Global Impact

The gospel isn't only for Scotts Valley. Over 28% of our budget goes to partners around the world — and right here at home.

Our people keep giving.

Year after year, this congregation commits over 28% of our budget to global impact partners — missionaries, church planters, and community organizations across six continents. Most churches are well below 10%. It's woven into who we are — and it has been since the 1990s. It grows every year because our people keep showing up with open hands.

The faith promise.

Every November, our church family gathers to celebrate what God is doing through our global impact partners. Guest speakers share stories from the field, and each person is invited to make a faith promise for the coming year.

1

Be Practical

Consider what God would have you give. Promise only what you believe God wants to give through you, then trust him to be faithful in your promise.

2

Be Prayerful

The gospel changes lives. Giving, although important, is secondary to faith and prayer. Prayerfully consider this addition to your regular offering. God will supply the amount promised.

3

Make a Promise

A faith promise is a promise to God — not a pledge to the church. No one will notify you or keep track of your progress. It's between you and God.

Giving to the Global Impact Fund can be done through our secure giving page.

Faith Promise in four parts.

Every story we tell tells His story.

Four stories from four regions — of courage, deliverance, and a gospel that refuses to stay quiet.

Horn of Africa

Belay's Story

In a region once called the graveyard of missions, a spark of faith became a wildfire. A story of deliverance from addiction, of obedience that multiplied, and of generations turning from darkness to light.

South East Asia

Martin's Story

When a military coup plunged Myanmar into chaos, one man stood firm in his faith — sparking a gospel movement that continues even after his death. A story of courage in crisis and obedience in the fire.

India

Jyoti's Story

In a remote village, a young woman once worshiped as a Hindu goddess met the true and living God — and everything changed. A story of deliverance, healing, and the gospel breaking through the darkness.

The Gambia

Amat's Story

He waited twenty years. One Bible. No church. No discipleship. A story of long obedience, of a gospel movement in the most unlikely place — with churches springing up like wildfire on the North Bank.

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 28:19–20 NIV
