Local Impact Opportunities
Want to make an impact locally, but just not sure where God wants you to impact? These opportunities will allow you to ‘try out’ areas and find the one that is perfect for you, your family, or small group. Throughout the year, we will emphasize each one of these ministries and plan Loving Lexington days and opportunities so you can "try out" the ministry.

Church members have the privilege of giving financially toward the Global Missions Offering throughout the year. Contributions may be given monthly or as a one-time gift in specially marked envelopes or on-line by clicking here. Church members pledge each year to give money to the Global Missions Offering. The amount of the pledges determines our yearly budget amount.

The Global Impact Team (GIT) is entrusted with the overseeing of this money to ensure that every dollar is spent wisely and effectively for the Kingdom of God. Each sub team is given a certain portion of the overall budget and they determine how that money is spent.

A certain percentage goes to the International Mission Board of the SC Baptist Convention as well as to foreign national workers and missionaries of other agencies. The budget also helps to subsidize national and international trips and funds various humanitarian and evangelistic projects around the world.

The GIT counts it a privilege to be able to serve God by overseeing His money. They are committed to making every dollar effective and strategic in the Kingdom of God.
