End of Year Giving Campaign
At the end of every year, Bridgeway raises funds for different initiatives that increase our impact in God’s Kingdom. Two years ago, we raised $150,000 for our Kidsway Cares initiative. We gave $15,000 to Gigi’s Playhouse and transformed our Kidsway entries and systems. Since then, we have seen more new families call Bridgeway home, which means more kids are hearing the gospel and being discipled.
Last year, we raised nearly $250,000 for our Compassion Unleashed initiative. Because of Compassion Unleashed, we launched Love Roseville, hired more counselors in Soul Care so we no longer have a waiting list, increased our generosity to other churches in need, and helped numerous families through our Assist Ministry. We’re just getting started in blessing our community.
This year, we are launching our Cover & Commission Campaign. We want to be a church that is making an impact throughout the world, and short-term missions are one of the ways in which we do that. With short-term mission trips to Uganda, Thailand, Central Asia, the Czech Republic, Mexicali, and more coming in 2025, we want to lessen the financial burden of saying yes. 50% of what is raised will be used to start a fund devoted to aiding teams in fundraising for short-term mission trips with Bridgeway. Traveling overseas is increasingly expensive. With the average overseas trip costing between $3,000 and $3,500, those who are called to serve on these teams are often limited by the funding they are able toraise. We want to widen the impact these trips can have as we partner with Christ and each other and allow more people to say yes to God’s call. Only some people are called to participate in these trips by going themselves, but we are all able tobe involved through prayer and our generosity.
We will also be devoting 50% of what is donated toward improving our courtyard to be an even better place to be! In the past few months, we have seen the blessing our courtyard has become. It provides an excellent place for our church to gather and be able to host our community with events like The Harvest Festival.
But we need help. The space has limited usefulness when the weather is hot and sunny and is poorly lit at night. To better equip our courtyard with more shade, lights, seating, and more, it will cost over $80,000. High-quality materials that can thrive in direct sun and high heat, as well as rain and cold, are costly, and there is a lot of area to cover. When we make these upgrades, we will increase the impact our campus has for our families to gather and host our community.
