WHERE DO YOU NEED TO RAISE YOUR FAITH?
Most of us know exactly what we think would fix the problem.
More money.
A different answer.
The right person staying.
The wrong person leaving.
A door finally opening.
​
But change the circumstance and we’ll come up with a completely different solution.
Raise the Banner strips it back to what we need in every one of them: faith.
Every year, we take time as a church family to pause, recognize God’s faithfulness, and respond to what He is doing in and through Church For The ONE.
​
The Raise the Banner Offering is our end-of-year offering as we close out the year of Raise the Standard.
​
This is an opportunity to give above and beyond our regular tithe as we continue moving forward in the mission God has entrusted to us.
But this offering is about more than an amount. It’s about faith.
Not because an amount proves anything.
Not because everyone’s response will look the same.
But because faith eventually asks us to release what feels safe and trust God with what comes next.
On Sunday, December 6, we’ll come together as one church family across Highland Park, North Lakeland, and Online to raise the banner through generosity.
WHAT IS THE RAISE THE BANNER OFFERING?
OUR VISION
Church For The ONE exists to reach the doubting, those who are done with religion, and those who feel disengaged from faith. The Raise the Banner Offering is one way our church family can keep moving forward together in the mission God has entrusted to us.
TITHE VS. OFFERING
What is a tithe?
​
The Bible teaches that giving begins with trust. Tithing is giving the first 10 percent of our income to God through the local church. It is a regular act of obedience that reminds us everything we have comes from Him.
​
What is an offering?
​
An offering goes beyond the tithe. It is a gift given above and beyond our regular giving as an expression of faith, gratitude, and generosity. The Raise the Banner Offering is an opportunity to prayerfully ask: Where do I need to raise my faith?
PREPARING FOR THE OFFERING
The Raise the Banner Offering is not about making everyone’s response look the same.
Faith looks different for every person. As we prepare for December 6, we’re encouraging every person and family to take time to:
​
Pray
Ask God where He is inviting you to raise your faith.
​
Talk About It
Have conversations with your spouse, your family, and your kids about what it means to trust God and live generously.
​
Prepare Your Response
Ask God what obedience looks like in this season, take home a giving envelope, and prepare your offering.
​
Bring It Together
Join us on Sunday, December 6, as our church family responds together.
MARK THE MOMENT
The Raise the Banner Offering is more than a moment of giving. It’s a moment we get to remember.
​
Every person who participates in the offering at one of our campuses will receive a Raise the Banner T-shirt. This is not about what someone gives or making everyone’s response look the same. It is a reminder that we are a church family choosing to trust God, step out in faith, and believe for what He wants to do next.
