A word from Pastor Jim

Recently, our church overwhelmingly affirmed God’s call to purchase over 100 acres in the heart of our growing community. This bold step was only the beginning of a clear vision that God has given us for our future. God’s favor on our sports and recreation ministries has allowed them to become one of the largest and most effective outreach ministries in our church. The Greater Things vision includes a dream to build a sports and recreation complex and one of the nicest parks in Houston County.

Additionally, Greater Things will allow us to take care of some much needed improvements and repairs on our current campus. This includes new carpet in the Family Life Center, parking lot repairs, updating and installing new security cameras, and a new check-in system in our children’s area.

My hope is that you will come alongside the rest of your church family at Second and commit toward supporting our effort to accomplish Greater Things.

Gratefully,
Pastor Jim

How much should I give?

There is no one except God that can give you an amount that you should give. We can’t all give the same amount, but we can all sacri ce together to give our best. It’s not about the size of the gift.

How is this giving different than my tithe?
