Each year, we ask the Church to prayerfully consider supporting a special above-and-beyond ONE GIFT offering, in honor of the greatest gift, Jesus. Your contribution this year will directly fuel God’s discipleship work through us to MAKE – MATURE – MULTIPLY locally and beyond.

THANK YOU for your generosity - together, we raised $10,400 for this important mission work, surpassing our goal of $7,500!

Incredibly Grateful

"Without serving, growing, and sharing life with our community group, I’d be missing out on so much of what Jesus wants me to be.”

Why We Give

"To sum it up, I guess I'd say we give because we've seen how wonderfully God has blessed us, we give to support our church leadership team, and we give strategically to spread the Gospel throughout the world."

Investing Our Time, Talents and Treasures Matters

"I am here today because God placed strong Christians and their families in my life, and because these people were willing to serve. Now the torch has passed to me and I get to share that investment to grow God’s Kingdom, and that’s what it’s all about."

Serving and Growing

“We weren’t sure what it really meant to be a member of a Church, as it makes it sound like a “Country Club” or something, but it is much more than that. At Image Church, we learned what it really meant to give and serve, and our family became involved in many areas of ministry."

A Work in Progress

"I am still a work in progress and you may still be a work in progress, but get involved at Image and you will be amazed at what God will do in your heart through the Word, worship and people that serve! This season I am so grateful for the gift of Image Church and so happy that God brought us to this place of worship!”

Impacting Chicago

As the third largest city in the United States, Chicago has just about everything you could imagine— everything but a ready access to the gospel. The city desperately needs a stronger evangelical presence. It’s time for a fresh wind in the Windy City.

    The Church in action. The hands and feet of Jesus.

    "In our suffering and loss, you stepped in and showed Jesus in every gesture, visit, loving detail, and act of service. We can't thank you enough, but we can praise God for loving us into this Church family.”

    "Why I Give" by Sherry Rickard

    Now, I don’t give out of obedience or routine or because “I’m supposed to.” I give because I love Him and it’s all His and when I give, I’m acknowledging that.

    Image Church – Reaching Northern Virginia and beyond
    At Image Church, we magnify Jesus by leading people to love God, love others, and make followers of Jesus. With your help, we can continue investing in the mission and fueling important outreach. Funds raised will support our efforts locally to MAKE, MATURE and MULTIPLY disciples. Over the next few weeks, we will share stories from the past year and vision for the future.

    Freedom Hope Church – Reaching Chicago
    Jesus died for the people of Chicago, just like He died for people of Northern Virginia. In March, we have the opportunity to launch a family of our own. Community Pastor Dom Martin, along with his wife Tiffani, will be heading to Chicago to plant Freedom Hope Church.

    The vision of Freedom Hope Church is to be a multi-ethnic, multi-generational mission-shaped community that is experiencing the FREEDOM of Christ and an eternal HOPE for the future. With God’s call on their heart, Pastor Dom and a team of servant leaders will strive to change the brokenness of Chicago by spreading the love of Jesus Christ and by growing His Kingdom. It is a broken city, but the team is determined for God’s grace and love to be shown like a light in the darkness. Image Church will gift 20% of funds raised through One Gift to Freedom Hope.

    We look forward to sharing our progress with you as we go through this campaign. Together, we can MAKE - MATURE - MULTIPLY in Northern Virginia, Chicago and around the world.

    Thank you for your consideration of this above-and-beyond gift to fuel the Great Commission in action.
