Hope and Joy is our theme for the 2025 Stewardship Campaign.
Giving joyfully reflects the nature of the God we serve. Your gifts are essential for our Church to welcome all, reach out to those in need, nurture spiritual growth, and equip us with Christ’s teaching for witness and outreach ministries.
Should you have any questions regarding this campaign, please do not hesitate to contact Frank Chan, Georgie Granger at info@nianticcommunitychurch.org
