Help Us End the Year Well and Renovate our Food Bank!

This Christmas season, we invite you to partner with us in funding a renovation for a unique outreach ministry that serves local families right from our very own building: the Food Bank.

Every week, 30-40 families are fed by a community of volunteers who show up and do their part, serving in the way of Jesus with the heart of Jesus. And every week, God provides enough donations from partner grocery stores—Whole Food, Trader Joe’s, and Sprouts—to feed these families along with many from our own South community. There is always just enough to give a hand-up to those in need.

However, we sense God asking us to position our Food Bank to do so much more with a better layout, quality equipment, and expanded storage. Our plan is to reconfigure the existing space by strategically moving walls, adding doors and windows, purchasing commercial refrigerators and a freezer, creating a kid-friendly waiting area with breakfast and coffee, replacing worn-out furnishings while still using what’s serviceable, and adding new paint, flooring, and lighting.

Your generosity will enable us to serve twice as many clients in a well-designed, welcoming space. When we invest in improved food quality, volunteer safety, and expanded outreach to the local community, we say to those in need, “You are valued. We believe in you. God has good things for you.”

Fund-specific donations

God is a generous God, and he has called us to be generous people. One of the greatest joys we have as followers of Jesus is to be a part of what He is doing in the world. We do that by investing our time, our abilities, and our finances. South Fellowship Church is full of people who have given sacrificially and joyfully for many years and the Kingdom of God has grown because of it. What a joy!

There are a few things we want you to know about stewardship of the finances at South Fellowship:

  • As a leadership team (staff, elders, and deacons), we make it our goal to be generous with the finances we are entrusted with. We give over 10% of our operating income towards missions (global and local) and we allow 75+ outside organizations to use our facility on an annual basis. There is a cost to using our building in that way, but we believe it’s worth it! in addition, we operate a Food bank that serves 70-100 people every week. Generosity is part of our DNA.
  • We make it our goal to operate with total transparency regarding our books. If you have questions about the way we are spending the money you entrust to the church, please don’t hesitate to ask. We are a part of ECFA (Evangelical Council of Financial Accountability) so that we have an outside organization making sure we are using finances in an appropriate manner.
  • We want to operate as a church with good financial principles, but we also want to train our people to be good stewards of their finances. To that end, we offer Financial Peace University twice each year. Check our website for more details on an upcoming class. See our events page to do this.
  • Staff salaries comprise roughly 50% of our operating budget. We have made it our goal to hire great staff and to pay them a fair wage. To that end, the compensation committee reviews staff salaries every 2 years. They use research complied by an outside organization that gives a salary range for each position (it takes into account the geographic location, size of the church, responsibility of the role, etc.). It is our goal to be in middle/upper-middle for each position.
  • As elders, we recognize that we will give an account to the Lord for the way that we use church money. We take that very seriously. Our goal is that every dime and dollar given is used to make much of the name of Jesus!
