ACTS 245 MINISTRY HIGHLIGHT
Inspired by the early church in Acts 2:45, our new ACTS 245 ministry exists to ensure no one in our church family goes without basic necessities like groceries. With rising prices, many are finding it harder to afford essentials, and we want to help bridge that gap. You can support this ministry by giving online to “Acts242” in PushPay or marking “Acts242” on a giving envelope. Let’s come together to meet each other’s needs as an offering above our regular tithes.
42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
Acts 2:42–47 (ESV)

MISSIONS:
Support Leighton Hinshaw and Arvada Young Life
We’re thrilled to share that Leighton Hinshaw has stepped into an incredible opportunity to serve as Student Staff with Arvada Young Life, specifically working with Wyldlife at Oberon Middle School. Through this role, Leighton will be leading leaders, planning weekly club meetings, connecting with students, and helping middle schoolers experience the love of Jesus through relationships and ministry.
This mission is only possible with the support of generous partners like you. Leighton is raising $12,000 annually to fund this ministry. Your partnership—through monthly giving, one-time gifts, or prayers—will make a difference in reaching lost kids and empowering them to grow in faith.
Why Young Life?
Leighton’s passion for ministry started in high school with Young Life, was deepened through YWAM (Youth With A Mission), and continues as he serves kids in Colorado. His heart for sharing Jesus’ love and building community is the driving force behind this calling.
How You Can Help:
- Become a monthly financial partner to support this ministry year-round.
- Give a one-time gift to help Leighton meet his goal.
- Commit to praying for Leighton, the leaders, and the students at Oberon Middle School.

GIVE TO NEIGHBORHOOD
We have experienced a great year of giving in 2023 at Neighborhood. We wanted to thank you for your generosity and obedience to the Lord as you tithe and give gifts regularly to keep this ministry going and growing. Generosity is at the heart of our church community, and we believe in the power of giving to make a positive impact in the lives of those in our neighborhood and beyond. Your tithes and offering support our basic mission efforts of providing salary for our pastors and general building costs. In essence, our current giving is simply keeping our church going. Our desire for 2024 is to move beyond our baseline giving. We are praying we move beyond going forward in our finances to growing forward in our finances so our impact can even be greater.
Jesus speaks to this investment of giving and generosity:
Luke 6:38 (ESV): 38 give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
Join us as we look forward to 2024. Here’s to growing forward together.
