Vision Offering 2025
Seeing God move through sacrificial generosity
Every year we come together to bring a special offering for the work of God’s Kingdom through our church and mission partners. Our annual Vision Offering is an act of faith; trusting God to lead us into a bigger future, and an act of worship; giving to God with generous hearts.
It is an act of love.
Through our sacrifice and generosity, we will be able to see foundations established and ministries released both near and far.
Our goal this year is to raise finance across four key areas:
KIDS & YOUTH
LOCAL MISSION
GLOBAL MISSION
EQUIPMENT UPGRADES
Our VISION OFFERING goal this year is to raise an additional £50,000 in Leeds and £5,000 in York over the next 12 months that will helps us achieve our vision goals.
ANNUAL REPORT
It is important to our Leadership Team and Trustees that there is complete transparency over how tithes, offerings and any other giving is spent throughout the year. Every year we publish an ANNUAL REPORT providing a look back at the last 12 months, including a breakdown of our finances, reserves and plans for this new financial year.

KIDS & YOUTH
We love our families and this year we want to invest in our kids and youth work as both areas begin to grow across our locations.
LEEDS: £25000
Your giving will allow us to staff our kids and youth roles. It will also take care of anticipated venue hire and fresh resources. We would also like to subsidise a trip this year to the Awaken Youth Conference in August.
YORK: £1500
Funds will help cover the cost of potential hiring and equipping venue spaces, discipleship resources, and external activities/events that will help our young people to grow in their faith. We would also like to subsidise a trip this year to the Awaken Youth Conference in August.
LOCAL MISSION
We want to create opportunities to share the love of Christ in our cities through the work we do as a church and through local mission partners.
LEEDS: £10000
Over the last two years, we have been able to bank up £15000 for Project Hope Leeds towards Ebor Gardens Community Centre. The asset transfer is now in its final stretch, and we expect Project Hope Leeds to take over the centre by the end of 2025. These additional funds will go towards helping the centre become fully functional.
YORK: £1500
This will help us put on local outreach events such as family fun days, student outreaches, Faith & Football events, and give us scope to be able to be involved with joint York local church events
GLOBAL MISSION
As part of our Vision Offering, we want to sow finance and support organisations in planting churches and establishing mission outposts around the world.
LEEDS: £10000
This year we want to continue to support our mission partner, NEW SIGHT as they establish a full medical centre and church in the heart of the Congo. We also want to sow into one our C3 Global Church congregations, C3 Edinburgh to help them break new ground as they pioneer in Scotland.
YORK:£1000
This year we will also sow into C3 Edinburgh, supporting the Lead Pastors Struan and Abigail Wardlaw in their vision to build a great church in Edinburgh where Jesus is lifted up.
EQUIPMENT UPGRADES
A lot of what we do requires equipment that over time needs replacing and upgrading to help us remain effective. A small portion of this years offering would help us keep things working at the right level.
LEEDS: £5000
As our online reach grows, it’s been a while since we invested in some of the equipment that helps us record in our studios. Your giving will help us upgrade our camera equipment to better broadcast quality and free up current gear to be re-purposed on Sundays.
YORK:£1000
Much of our equipment is now coming up to being 6-7 years old (including 2 years of being in cold external storage during the covid lockdowns), some items are coming to the point of needing to be replaced. This fund would allow us to replace something at short notice if required.
