christmas give 2025
Christmas Give is a big part of how we celebrate Christmas at North Rock Hill. This year-end tradition is an opportunity to generously give above and beyond our normal tithes and offerings to meet significant needs and make a big impact in reaching our world with the gospel. 100% of our Christmas Give offering is spent outside the walls and budget of NRHC. This year our goal is $65,000 for the following projects:
$10,000 Lottie Moon Missions Offering
Every dollar of this annual offering goes directly to the mission field in support of over 3,500 missionaries serving with the International Mission Board (IMB) of the Southern Baptist Convention. This offering is used to free missionaries from the burden of raising support, fund extensive cross-cultural training and support for missionary families, and bring tangible help to thousands through medical supplies, clean water, and the life-transforming message of the gospel.
$8,000 Benevolence and Counseling Funds
We take seriously Jesus’ call to care for the least of these. These funds will be used to provide emergency housing, transportation, and food for the vulnerable of our community and Christian counseling for those in our church who need help to take their next steps.
$20,000 Mill Town Church
In January 2026, Mill Town Church will officially launch. Fort Mill is one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the U.S., with an increasing number of young families moving in from all over the country and a growing South Asian community. Many are successful and comfortable, yet often feel lonely, anxious, and without purpose. We are sending out Mill Town Church to reach these families—inviting them to experience the abundant life Jesus offers through community and life on mission with Him. Mill Town will use these funds to help cover first-year start-up costs and ensure a strong, healthy launch.
$27,000 Community Ministry Partners
These funds will be used to support four of our local partners:
• Capernaum - a YoungLife ministry to teens and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities
• Palmetto Women’s Center - a crisis pregnancy center
• Isaiah 117 House - provides physical and emotional support in a safe and loving home for children awaiting placement in the foster care system
• YoungLife - a ministry to middle and high school students, inviting them to follow Jesus and caring for them no matter their response.
