Ever notice there are no inspiring stories of accumulation, but there are thousands of inspiring stories of sacrifice? We’ve noticed that too.
Since the very beginning of our church, a group of faithful and generous people have made the bold decision to give away 10% of their income — not out of obligation, but out of a deep desire to see God’s family flourish here in Sumner and Redcliffs. Their generosity has helped shape the community we now enjoy, and we believe God has used it — and continues to use it — to change lives.
The truth is, you’re surrounded by generous people at SumRed. Every week, their giving helps create a church where people can connect with one another, find belonging, and discover the life-changing love of Jesus Christ. Your giving helps sow the seeds of faith and growth — in kids, in teens, in adults, and in families.
But it doesn't stop here. We believe in being a church that looks outward. That’s why 10% of everything we receive goes straight to supporting our overseas mission partners serving in some of the most remote and vulnerable parts of the world.
We also support local initiatives like the Woolston foodbank, community-based youth work, and the Christchurch City Mission — providing real help to real people in need.
When you give, you’re not just supporting a church — you’re becoming part of something bigger. Locally. Regionally. Globally.
Thank you for giving. It makes more of a difference than you know.
