ALABASTER OFFERING

Alabaster Offering is taken in September and February each year.  We encourage everyone to participate in this offering by collecting all loose change and putting it in an “Alabaster Box” specifically for the purpose of building throughout the world, the buildings needed for ministry on a global level.

Many missionaries live in houses built by these funds.  We also have hospitals, schools, universities and worship centers built by your sacrificial giving to Alabaster.         100% of all Alabaster funds go direction to a building project
