Giving
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
- Matthew 6:21
Why we give
God is generous and therefore He calls us to be as well. What we do with what God has given us shows the world where our hearts are and helps proclaim the gospel. We want to glorify God with every area of our lives, and that includes what we do with our finances.

LEGACY SEED OFFERING
A Single Offering. A Lasting Impact.
At Central Triad Church, we don’t take up special offerings throughout the year—except for one: The Legacy Seed Offering.
This offering is an opportunity to sow into something greater—a chance to make a lasting impact in ways that extend far beyond ourselves. We come together in faith, believing that as we give, God will use our generosity to transform lives and expand His kingdom.

You Can Give Year-Round
While we celebrate the Legacy Seed Offering in December, giving is open all year long. You don’t have to wait—sow your seed anytime and be part of the ongoing impact.
A Challenge to Give
I want to personally challenge each of you to be part of this sacrificial act of faith. The Legacy Seed Offering is more than just a financial gift—it’s an investment in people, in purpose, and in the future.
We work hard to create financial margins, but the pace of our impact is determined by the pace of your generosity. As you give, we are empowered to step forward, to serve, and to transform lives.

Pray & Participate
Ask God how He would have you invest in Legacy this year. Give when He leads you—whether today, tomorrow, or at our December celebration. Every seed makes a difference.

5 major areas the legacy offering can affect

- We want to make a difference in America through building local churches, helping plant new churches, strengthening existing churches, and joining together with national churches to reach cities across America.
- We use it to support strategic international ministries around the world — freeing those enslaved in Pakistan, training pastors and leaders, feeding people in the name of Jesus, and translating the Bible into local languages.
- We invest in the next generation through events like youth conferences and services, impacting not just our students but all those around us.
- Central Triad Church projects, including building new future campuses, remodeling and updating current facilities, and expanding our reach through technology and digital means to make as big an impact as we can in our city.
