This year's Legacy Offering culminates on December 15th. Check out a message from our Lead Pastor, Ryan Alonso, below.
Dear Lineage Family,
Nearly forty years ago, a handful of people invested in a dream to start what is now called Lineage. Since then, campuses have sprung up with a variety of ministries, student services, and life groups, and thousands of people have come to know Christ. Every one of us has benefited from their investment, and now we have the privilege of stewarding their faith and generosity into the future.
Here are a few highlights of what we’ve been able to accomplish so far in 2024:
STRATEGIC PARTNERS: From 2019 to 2023, we invested $486,000 in local and global missions work through our various partners. Additionally, I’m happy to report that, year-to-date, we have invested $66,960 in our local and global partners. We’re excited to reach an average pace of $100,000 invested each year in missions work over the last six years—and 2024 isn’t over yet!
EXPANSION: We’ve taken two significant steps forward this year in our vision to grow and expand our church’s reach. Thanks to your past generosity through Legacy offerings, we were able to establish a new home and facility for our Melbourne location, with full access seven days a week, 365 days a year. Additionally, we completed the first round of design and engineering for a future auditorium at our Cocoa West location.
SALVATION + BAPTISM: It has been nothing short of incredible to see 48 people accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior this year and be baptized! And we’re not done yet, as I write this with two months left in the year.
These are just a few highlights of the impact we’re making together in 2024. I still believe the best is yet to come! As we look forward, I ask you to consider how you could participate in helping us accelerate our ministry impact. Right around the corner is our Legacy offering, which supports future initiatives like those listed above.
This special, once-a-year offering is an invitation to give over and above our tithes to make a difference in people’s lives. It’s a great opportunity to accelerate the vision of our church and reach more people with the Good News of Jesus.
We are a church with a vision for what ‘could be’ that far exceeds what we’ve already accomplished. We have God-sized dreams, and our Legacy Offering helps us take a step forward each year into these dreams. Our desired legacy can be summed up in these four goals:
Our Church
This offering accelerates the vision we hold at Lineage—to start new campuses and move toward permanent locations in the future. We are a ‘church-planting church’ with the desire to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus. This offering will help fund future campuses and position us to build upon, purchase, and renovate necessary properties and facilities.
Our Children
One of our greatest investments is equipping young leaders to go change the world for Christ. This offering will fuel our efforts to build dynamic environments for Lineage Kids & Students and empower them to live out their faith within the church. Additionally, we will begin research and development to expand our family programs to serve children with special needs through specialized programming.
Our Community
We believe the cities of the Space Coast, where God has given us influence, are our priority. New and fresh opportunities to serve, build relationships, and make a difference continue to arise. In addition to expanding our 5th Sunday Serve days in 2025, we will develop a network for thriving businesses to partner with local nonprofits that advance the gospel.
Our World
Through our strategic ministry partnerships around the world, we have the opportunity to raise up more leaders, plant more churches, and strengthen missional work globally. In 2025, we will add new partners in India and Central America who are reaching people with the gospel. We will expand our global impact footprint and reflect the heart of God, who loves the whole world (John 3:16).
This is the legacy we aim to build. Our Legacy Offering fuels and accelerates these goals, which represent future initiatives and ministry opportunities. We’re a debt-free church with nothing but the future to build. This offering will strengthen and build our ministry impact as we move into 2025 and beyond. There’s no pressure to give from impulse or guilt. Instead, ask the Lord how He would want you to participate, and give with joy.
This year’s Legacy Offering culminates on Sunday, December 15, 2024. We’re encouraging everyone to join us on this special day. Our goal is not a specific amount, but for everyone to participate in some way. It’s not about equal giving, but equal sacrifice.
As always, this is between you and the Lord, and I trust Him for however He speaks to you. Just simply ask God, “What should I give?”
There are two ways you can participate in giving:
1. Bring your offering on or before Sunday, December 15, and give in the service (special envelopes will be provided).
2. Click the GIVE NOW button below.
I am honored to join with you in the cause that counts.
I love being your pastor!
