Faith and Generosity: Answering the Call to Support the Grand Canyon Synod
It is a question of equality between your present abundance and their need,
so that their abundance may also supply your need, in order that there may be equality.
As it is written,
“The one who had much did not have too much,
and the one who had little did not have too little.”
—2 Corinthians 8:13b-15
The Grand Canyon Synod Council encourages all congregations to faithfully allocate mission support as an intentional commitment to our shared mission as church together. We encourage congregations to be generous and proportionate in their mission support, in accordance with the witness of scripture and the saints who came before us.
As members of the Body of Christ, we are called to live in the spirit of generosity, responding to the needs around us just as the saints before us did. The Grand Canyon Synod Council encourages all congregations to embrace this call by faithfully allocating mission support as part of their commitment to our shared work as the church.
In 2 Corinthians 8:13-15, we are reminded of the balance of giving: “The one who had much did not have too much, and the one who had little did not have too little.” This biblical witness calls us to equality through giving—where your congregation’s present abundance may meet the needs of others, and their abundance may one day meet yours. This reciprocal relationship is vital to our work as church together.
We ask each congregation to prayerfully consider its contribution to the synod’s mission, giving generously and proportionately in alignment with scripture. Your support enables ministries that reach far beyond individual congregations, sustaining outreach, advocacy, and service across the Grand Canyon Synod.
Together, through mission support, we can continue making an impact in communities throughout Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and beyond. Whether it’s helping those in need, building new ministry initiatives, or extending support to partner organizations, every congregation’s contribution matters. Join us in faithfully upholding this call to stewardship, so that we may walk forward in mission together.
