our provider

We believe God is the giver of all good things and the source of our riches. Giving back to Him and to others with our time and treasures is a source of great blessing. If you consider Freshwater your home, we hope you will join us showing others the love of God through generosity. Thank you for helping us realize God's plan for Freshwater and this community. Together, we can continue to share the life-changing message of Jesus. 

Stewardship

Money is a pretty important part of our lives. The Bible mentions money over 800 times, so it is clearly important to God too. When we talk about how money merges with our faith, we talk in terms of stewardship.

We believe that God is the source of all our wealth and that He has made us managers - or stewards - of those resources. We believe managing our money is primarily a faith issue. Trusting God with our money shows that we have faith in Him as our provider.

Online Giving

We're bombarded by a multitude of things that demand our attention and our time, and not just at church. In today's technology driven world, it isn't reasonable to expect everyone to give by check or cash on Sunday. So, to help make regular giving easier, you can now give online. This option allows you to set up one-time and recurring gifts using a savings or checking account, or a debit/credit card. It takes just a minute to set up your profile. You'll have instant access to change your gift at any time, without the need to fill out additional paperwork or stop by the church office. As in the past, you'll still be able to print your yearly giving statement using My Freshwater. We hope this option makes it easier for all of us to be faithful with our finances -- in a way that fits our busy lives in today's technology driven world. If you have any questions, please call the office at (269) 657-6500.

Ethiopia trip

A group from Freshwater Community Church will be going on a Vision Trip to Ethiopia in November 2024. As a church, Freshwater supports the organization “Waterforgood”, who will be hosting this trip.

As part of the Vision Trip, our group will visit villages in various stages of the process to become a healthy village, meet those who are affected by the water crises, and see the work that Waterforgood engages in on a daily basis.

We ask that you would prayerfully consider donating to us and add the global safe water cause to your prayers.

Eighteen years ago, God moved on behalf of Freshwater and led us to a temporary location in an old warehouse on Red Arrow Highway. Today, God has again moved like only He can... by blessing us with a permanent home for just $1.00! He has taken us one amazing step closer to our dreams of developing a center for life change.

In order to continue moving our ministry forward, we took a special First Move offering on Oct. 18, 2015. In a way that only God can provide, we raised nearly $180,000. We're now using those funds to make immediate repairs to the building to make way for a community center.
