Thank you for your support!
Generosity has always been part of the story at Greencastle Church of the Nazarene. From the early days of serving Thanksgiving meals to hungry children during the Great Depression, to supporting outreach in our community today, giving has never just been about budgets — it has been about people. When you give, you help make Sunday worship possible, support discipleship for the next generation, and extend compassion beyond our church walls. Lives are touched through missions, local outreach, children’s ministry, and practical care for families in need — all because of faithful generosity.
In Scripture, the tithe is the first 10% given back to God as an act of trust and obedience, recognizing that everything we have comes from Him. Offerings are gifts given above the tithe to support special ministries, missions, or needs as God leads. We believe giving is an act of worship — not pressure, but joyful participation in what God is doing.
For your convenience, you can give securely online through Givelify, or give during our in-person services. However you choose to give, know that your generosity helps change lives and fuels the mission of bringing people to Jesus and building them in holiness.
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
~2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)
In addition to regular tithes and offerings, there are several meaningful ways to support the mission of Greencastle Church of the Nazarene. You can set up recurring giving through Givelify for consistent, automated generosity that helps sustain ongoing ministry. You may also choose to designate a gift toward specific funds such as missions, outreach efforts, children and youth ministries, or special projects that strengthen our church and community impact. Beyond financial giving, we believe your time and talents are valuable gifts as well — serving on a ministry team or volunteering in outreach is another powerful way to give. However you choose to participate, every act of generosity helps advance the work God is doing through our church.
The General Fund supports the ongoing ministries and daily operations of the church. This includes worship services, discipleship programs, children and youth ministries, facility care, and community outreach. Faithful giving to the General Fund ensures that ministry happens every week and that the mission of the church continues to move forward.
Through Nazarene Missions International (NMI), we partner with missionaries and ministries around the world. Gifts to World Missions help fund global evangelism, church planting, compassionate ministries, and disaster response. Your generosity reaches far beyond Greencastle, impacting lives across nations.
This fund supports local outreach efforts that serve and bless our community. From assisting families in need to supporting special service projects and compassion-based initiatives, these gifts allow us to be the hands and feet of Christ right here at home.
Investing in the next generation is one of our highest priorities. Contributions to this fund help provide curriculum, events, activities, and ministry resources that support CastleKidz and NYI students as they grow in their faith.
This fund is dedicated to the care, improvement, and long-term stewardship of our church property and grounds. Giving toward facilities helps ensure that our building remains a safe, welcoming place for ministry today and for future generations.
Throughout the year, we also host special fundraisers that provide additional opportunities to support specific ministry goals and projects. These events may help fund youth trips, children’s ministry needs, outreach initiatives, facility improvements, or mission efforts. Fundraisers allow our entire church family to participate in a shared vision, often bringing creativity, fellowship, and generosity together in a meaningful way. They are not only about raising support but also about building unity as we work side by side toward a common purpose. Every fundraiser reflects our heart to steward resources well and invest intentionally in the mission God has placed before us.
