2024 Proposed High Pointe Budget Draft This Sunday Night, 5:00 PM

Each year, our budget team works hard to help us put together a budget that is wise and faith-fueled. Our annual budget communicates our mission priorities. This year, our mission priority is sending missionaries to the field. So, our budget theme is To the Nations. As we approach the end of the year, it is time to present our proposed budget for 2024.

This Sunday night, pastor Davey Davis will present a draft of the 2024 proposed budget. He will help us understand how the budget came to be, what major changes there are, and what this budget communicates about how we are doing ministry at High Pointe. We ask you to review this draft budget and join us as we pray that God would allow us to be a generous people. If you have questions or suggestions regarding the proposed budget, you will have from 26 November to 3 December to approach one of our elders. For specific questions, contact pastor Davey Davis or David Andrews. David is our deacon of budget.

After hearing from you, we will prepare the final proposed budget and send it out by 6 December for your final review. Then, on 10 December, we will vote to adopt the budget at our members' meeting.

High Pointe, we thank you for your generous giving and your faithful stewardship of the resources the Lord has given us. As we prepare to send the Davis family to Ireland and the Painter family to an unreached, unengaged people group, we want to show our generosity in sending well.

Men’s Ministry at High Pointe
At High Pointe, we desire to see all men have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and grow in that relationship in order to look more like Him. We desire to help men in that process and provide opportunities for discipleship. As Christians, we are called to be students of Christ and then to show our fruit of that salvation, which takes the help of a church community. As men of High Pointe, we desire to come along one another to encourage, pray, sharpen, and ultimately point each other to the beauty of a life conformed to the image of Christ. We endeavor to develop these brotherly relationships among the men of High Pointe.

Three Areas of Focus: (1) Men’s Events, (2) Discipleship Groups (DGroups), and 1:1 Discipleship (Mentoring). You can check out the available DGroups by clicking HERE.

Giving at High Pointe
God is generous, and so he calls us to be as well. What we do with what God has given us shows the world where our hearts are and helps proclaim the gospel. We want to glorify God in every area of our lives, including what we do with our finances. But as you may have noticed, we do not take up a collection on Sundays at High Pointe. Consequently, we’ve been receiving questions as to how to give. There are several ways you may give:

1. Offering Boxes in Auditorium – You may place your offering in an offering box.
2. Mail – You may mail your contribution to the church office.
3. Text/Online – You may give by texting 84321 (it will require a first-time setup).
4. Your Bank – You may give through your own bank via Bill Pay or ACH.
