Giving Back
When the Stirring began in 2007, we committed to giving back at least 10% of all income to invest in our community and to fuel God’s mission around the world. Since that time, we’ve been blessed to give back thousands of dollars to support local community projects, plant new churches, bless leaders in our city and our district, and fund overseas mission movements. Thank you for being generous and allowing us to give back!

HOUSE OFFERING
Every year we do our best to inspire our Stirring family into God’s heart and vision—for our church, our city, and our global family. We are deeply grateful for every person who has invested faithfully, generously, and sacrificially into this house. You are helping build something that matters—something eternal.
THIS YEAR’S GOAL
This year’s House Offering goal is $200,000.
This offering fuels both internal needs and external mission, enabling us to go beyond what our general giving supports.
We invite you to prayerfully consider giving a one-time gift toward this year’s goal.
HALF TO THE HOUSE
Half of all funds will go toward strengthening and preparing our physical spaces for the future, including:
Facility improvements (roof, A/C, sound systems)
Courtyard renovations
Ongoing building maintenance
Strategic steps toward acquiring the Catalyst Center, our youth center.
We believe in building a house that serves both the present and future generations.
HALF BEYOND THE WALLS
The other half allows us to continue our partnerships with both local and global partnerships, including:
Local Partners
Rescue Mission
North State Care Clinic
Plantable Nursery
Team Nehemiah
Heritage Coffeehouse
These organizations are doing transformative work in our city—and we are honored to stand with them.
Global Partners
Hard Places Community (Cambodia & Madagascar)
Origen Church (Mexico)
Fire & Fragrance (South Africa)
We believe the local church is strongest when it thinks both locally and globally.

Stirring family and global friends—Join us as we live out the heart of God:

GLOBAL INITIATIVES 2026
ORIGEN CHURCH, GUADALAJARA — NEW CAMPUS
After 11 years of faithful ministry, growing to over 800 weekly disciples and planting campuses in Mérida and Aguascalientes, Origen Church is stepping into a new season with a larger campus in the city center of Guadalajara.
This new space will be more than a building—it will serve as a hub for equipping and sending leaders, raising up teams and church planters across Mexico, Latin America, and Spanish-speaking communities beyond. Origen is currently helping pioneer a new church plant in Chile—investing resources, raising leaders, and establishing a life-giving church. This is just the beginning of what God is doing across Latin America.
With over 130 million people in Mexico and more than 660 million Spanish speakers worldwide, this new campus positions Origen to multiply its impact for generations to come.
Your partnership isn’t just building a house—it’s helping plant churches beyond borders.
FIRE & FRAGRANCE, SOUTH AFRICA — CHURCH PLANTING
Fire & Fragrance is a global missions movement uniquely called to steward the presence of God through prayer and missions. Each morning, more than 300 students gather for prayer—being formed in a biblical worldview and equipped to live as missionaries in every sphere of society and to the ends of the earth.
Over the past five years, they have:
Sent missionaries to 60 nations
Seen nearly 40,000 Gen Z individuals come to faith
Planted 185 house churches across Africa
This year, we are partnering with Fire & Fragrance to plant MISSIO Church—their first local church expression, with faith for many more to come.
With Africa projected to become the global center of Christianity—growing to over 1.3 billion believers by 2050—this is a pivotal moment in church history.
Your partnership helps fuel a movement that is shaping the future of the global Church.
