Generosity

Making generosity a practice in our lives means being intentional with our resources. Here are some practical next steps wherever you find yourself on the journey toward becoming more generous. Choosing to be generous doesn’t simply happen by accident. You need a plan for whatever step is right for you.

Start

If you’re not giving, start. Freely giving away some of the resources God has blessed you with is one the most important ways to break the power money has in your life. Simply start by giving to your local church or a worthy cause.

Plan

If you’re giving sporadically, make a plan to give regularly, consistently, and intentionally. Look at your finances and decide on an amount or percentage you believe you can give consistently.

Grow

If you’re giving regularly, consider growing in generosity by setting an intentional goal. For some, it might be reaching a certain percentage of your income. For others, you might feel challenged to give in a way that is a big stretch for you.

Project Tech

At Blackhawk, we desire to see more and more people experience the transforming power of Jesus through our Sunday worship services. When Blackhawk Brader Way was completed in November 2007, we never imagined what we now do on a weekly basis: broadcast our Sunday services online and to multiple sites, leverage the online service as a new “front door,” and hold services in multiple languages. Blackhawk Brader Way’s original technology was not designed with today’s reality in mind. So now, 16 years later, we are responding to what God is doing through our in-person and online worship services by investing in the tools that support our mission of “building a community to reach a community.”

General Fund

General Fund gifts support our annual budget – the primary way we pursue our mission as a church – to build a loving community that follows Christ, in order to reach a community that is lost without him. It supports everything from outreach to staff salaries to building upkeep.

Debt Reduction Fund

Blackhawk’s Debt Reduction Fund is used exclusively to accelerate mortgage reduction, offering an opportunity to partner with those who gave selflessly to build our foundation.
