Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why start The Reach One Initiative?

    The idea is that each missionary, ministry and project is part of God's global, kingdom mission and each dollar was an investment with an eternal return and reward. The heart of The Reach One Initiative is all about people. We give, go, pray, and send "so all can hear" the Gospel of the Kingdom.

    The Initiative will incorporate what was formerly known as Faith Promise Cards, Special Offerings, and World Fest. We believe that this is a way that we can better steward the finances that we are blessed with. This allows us to plan ahead for projects and missions giving without ever taking out loans. We want to be the best stewards we can possibly be.

  • Is The Reach One Initiative exclusive?

    No! Anyone can be a part that would like to give extra above their tithes. This does require that you live with a heart of generosity. We believe God is extravagant, therefore we want our responses to also be extravagant.

  • Is this the same as regular giving?

    No. The Reach One Initiative is above what you give in your regular tithes of 10%. Think of this as two buckets - you no longer give to special offerings that pop up throughout the year. You give tithes and Reach One Initiative. DLC gives you updates on what has happened because of your generosity.

  • Is giving financially the only way to Reach One More?

    Absolutely not! You can reach one more through prayers, love, volunteering, and more! This is the financial tool we are providing you.

  • If I had set up reoccurring giving for my Faith Promise, what will happen?

    If you leave it as is, that money will be relocated to The Reach One Initiative. You can also update your recurring gifts online by creating a new recurring gift to the Initiative and discontinuing your previous gift. If you have any questions about how to route your giving, please email generosity@dlc.life

  • What if I cannot afford to give to The Reach One Initiative?

    For some, affordability means re-arranging priorities (e.g.: consider how much you spend on coffee in a year. One coffee per day costs $2000 a year). However, if someone genuinely cannot afford it -then they should not participate. It’s important to note, a person’s value to God or Discover Life Church has no bearing on whether they participate in the initiative. Furthermore, there is no pressure to participate The Reach One Initiative. The Body of Christ works because different people have different graces (Rom 12:6-9, 1 Cor 12). While you may not be able to contribute as part of the initiative, you can contribute in other very meaningful ways. As we achieve more together, we also celebrate the successes together because we are one church that sacrifices in different ways.
