GIVE HERE
WHAT IS THE BIG GIVE?
The Big Give is our church's annual Christmas tradition of living out the words of Jesus, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35). It's one day when we take up the biggest offering we can muster and give every bit of it away. Our goal for 2023 was to raise $325,000 and give all of it away, and thanks to your generosity and God's faithfulness...we passed our goal!! We raised $393,093.53!
This year, our goal is $350,000!
Each year, we select organizations to partner with that impact our local community, our region, our nation, and the world. To read more about past and ongoing giving relationships at Aletheia, check out our partnerships page.
We're excited to watch our church grow in generosity throughout the year and can't wait to see what's next.
2024 International Partners
ORPHANetwork is a local-church based relief ministry in Nicaragua. Since 2016, Aletheia's ongoing partnership through three local churches has helped to provide food, medical care, and gospel ministry to hundreds of children who--along with their families--have heard about Jesus with full stomachs and full hearts. In total, ORPHANetwork reaches 20,000+ vulnerable and orphaned children across Nicaragua, through the work of local churches and partner orphanages.
African Havens brings a hope and a future to the vulnerable children, youth, women, poor and refugees of Johannesburg with sustainable change. In the past two decades, over 200 children have been adopted through African Havens with only 10–20 being international and the rest local adoptions. In recent years, the Havens have been involved in various court cases to expand the pathways that institutions can take to support and protect children in need.
2024 Church Partner
This year, we’re partnering with Every Nation Sri Lanka as they raise funds to build their very own building! This a big deal for a church in Sri Lanka as less than 2% of the population is Protestant Christian. It’s an honor to designate a portion of the Big Give funds to make a difference in South Asia.
2024 Local Partners
Fostering Hope empowers churches and individuals to care for children and families impacted by foster care. Aletheia has been involved with Fostering Hope since 2017 as members of Aletheia began to explore the possibility of fostering. Since then, multiple families across our locations have fostered children.
Boston Center for Pregnancy Choices helps individuals make informed decisions about unplanned pregnancies and provides support and resources after those decisions are made. As a church, Aletheia has contributed financially to BCPC through the Big Give for the last three years. We also support them throughout the year through volunteer opportunities.
Mount Hope Community Center is located just down the street from our Providence location. They provide programs, services, resources, and outreaches that promote community and economic development, self-sufficiency, and self sustainability. Aletheia has partnered with MHCC since 2022.
Vision New England wants to see New England transformed with the love of Jesus and pursues that by helping churches make disciples, do justice, and foster unity to share Jesus. While VNE is a newer Big Give partner, Aletheia’s staff and leaders have been in relationship with and benefited from VNE’s presence and resources over the years.
