Missions
We believe in a God of justice who has called us to care for the poor, the lonely, and the downcast. In addition, we support the spreading of the Gospel, the building of the global church, and the fueling of Kingdom revival worldwide. As such, Giving Light financially supports the following missions.
Our Local Community
We take that literally. As we have been planted in a local community, Jesus invites us to serve, care, support, empower, and love the people right here in our Central Pennsylvania home. We do this by volunteer work, donations, and partnering with local organizations, fellow churches, and our neighbors themselves to see our community continue to grow and thrive one beautiful person and family at a time.
