‘Imagine: Our Gifts Can Do More,’ a new matching gift campaign through March 31

By Traci Rabenstein, executive director of Mission Advancement for the Church of the Brethren

At the heart of the Church of the Brethren is a deep trust in God’s promise to work powerfully through faithful people. Scripture reminds us that God can “do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to the power at work within us”—bringing glory to God through the church, now and for generations to come (Ephesians 3:20–21, NIV).

That promise is alive in the work of our Core Ministries for the Church of the Brethren. Through your support, Core Ministries helps form leaders, nurture congregations, respond to human need, and witness to Christ’s peace in the world. These ministries strengthen the church’s mission and ensure that our shared values—service, compassion, justice, and faith—continue to shape lives and communities.

Right now, we invite you to take part in a meaningful opportunity to extend that impact even further. Thanks to the generosity of dedicated supporters, all gifts to Core Ministries will be matched dollar for dollar—up to $100,000. This matched gift campaign is available through March 31, doubling the power of your generosity during this important season.

Whatever the amount, your gift is a faithful response to God’s work in the world. Together, through God’s power at work within us, the Church can do more—far more—than we could ever do on our own.
