The 2025 Christmas Offering will be received during the regular Sunday services on December 21st and 28th, 2025.
2025 Update
MISSION TRIP BLESSING:
This year, a portion of our Christmas offering was invested directly into mission work—helping send members of our church family to serve in Peru, Japan, Brazil, and with Campus Crusade for Christ. Your generosity helped people step out in faith, seek God’s calling, and say “yes” to where He is leading. It’s a beautiful thing to be part of a church that supports individuals pursuing God’s purpose for their lives. Thank you for helping make that possible.
TECH / FACILITY UPGARDES:
This year, a portion of our funds also went toward important tech and facility upgrades for ou staff. Ministry happens every day, and having the right tools matters—especially when equipment unexpectedly fails and needs immediate replacement. Thanks to your faithful generosity, we were able to respond quickly, keep ministry moving forward, and support our team with what they need to serve our church well.
EARTHQUAKE RELIEF:
Earlier this year, when the magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck central Myanmar on March 28, 2025—and its tremors caused significant damage in Thailand—a portion of our Christmas funds was immediately directed toward relief efforts. Through our partnership with New International, we were able to send support directly to those most affected, offering help, hope, and tangible care in a moment of urgent need. Thank you for giving in a way that allows us to respond quickly when crises arise.
DEBT REDUCTION:
Each year we commit that any funds give above our stated goal will go directly toward the principal on our facility debt—and this year, we followed through. Because we surpassed our goal, the extra offerings were applied exactly as promised, reducing our overall debt and strengthening our future ministry impact.
2026 Ministry Initiatives
MOSAIC VISION CHURCH PLANTING:
Looking ahead, our Christmas Offering for this coming year will help launch a new Mosaic church in Colombia. While 2025 allowed us to begin supporting new church-planting efforts in Mexico and Ghana, our mission isn’t finished. With a church family made up of people from so many nations, we are committed to planting a church in every country represented in our congregation. This next step in Colombia moves us closer to that vision—reaching more people with the hope of Jesus.
CRISIS RELIEF / ENDURING IMPACT:
Our calling as a church is to help those who are hurting. Tragedy, crisis, and difficulty often come without warning, but when they do, we want to be ready to respond with compassion and support. Our Christmas Offering makes that possible—providing funds that are immediately available to meet urgent needs as they arise and to bring hope to people in their hardest moments.
COMMUNITY IMPACT:
We desire to be ready not only to serve globally but also to meet needs right here in our own community. Providing assistance, support, and tangible help to those around us is a vital part of our mission. Serving our neighbors and pointing them to Jesus is at the heart of who we are, and having Christmas Offering funds available ensures we can respond quickly and effectively to local needs as well.
GENRAL OFFERING / DEBT REDUCTION:
As we approach the end of the year, we want to challenge everyone to give first and foremost to help us finish strong. Our weekly offering need at Westbrook is $23,500, which means over the next two weeks we need $47,000 to meet our regular budget. Your faithful giving not only helps cover our regular expenses but also provides extra for ministry initiatives— and any amount over our stated goal will go directly toward reducing our facility debt. Together, we can finish the year well and set the stage for even greater impact in 2026.
Christmas Offering 2025 Goal: $72,000
Our goal of $72,000 is the total combined offerings from the weekend services of December 21 and 28. Our general weekend offering need and the special ministry initiatives are blended together in this overall goal.
