There is a moment in many church concerts when something shifts. The music fills the sanctuary, and you look around and realize that the people seated beside you — the ones leaning forward, eyes closed, moved by what they're hearing — are not members of the congregation. They drove across town for this. They read about it in a community arts newsletter or heard about it from a neighbor. They have no particular stake in the life of this church, and yet here they are, unmistakably part of something.

You can eliminate your church debt as an act of faith and response to God’s call on the future of your congregation.
