The Big Give

WHAT IS THE BIG GIVE?

The Big Give is our church's annual Christmas tradition of living out the words of Jesus, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35). It's one day when we take up the biggest offering we can muster and give every bit of it away. Our goal for 2022 was to raise $250,000 and give all of it away, and thanks to your generosity and God's faithfulness...we passed our goal!!

Our Big Give goal for 2023 is…$325,000

Each year, we select organizations to partner with that impact our local community, our region, our nation, and the world. To read more about past and ongoing giving relationships at Aletheia, check out our partnerships page.

We're excited to watch our church grow in generosity throughout the year and can't wait to see what's next.


HERE ARE OUR 2023 BIG GIVE PARTNERSHIPS

INTERNATIONAL

ORPHANetwork is a local-church based relief ministry in Nicaragua. Since 2016, Aletheia's ongoing partnership through three local churches has helped to provide food, medical care, and gospel ministry to hundreds of children who--along with their families--have heard about Jesus with full stomachs and full hearts. In total, ORPHANetwork reaches 20,000+ vulnerable and orphaned children across Nicaragua, through the work of local churches and partner orphanages.

CHURCH PLANTING

This is an exciting year for our church-planting partnerships. Over the past 10 years, we've been able to help fun 10 church plants through The Big Give! This year is extra special as we'll be partnering with two of our very own church plants—Aletheia Boston and Aletheia North Shore. Every Nation Churches & Ministries has a heart for church planting and we want to be one of the biggest sending churches. We want to see New England full of churches during our time. You can find out more about Every Nation's mission and commitment to church-planting here.
