What Is Heart For The Kingdom?

As we approach the end of an incredibly transformative year, we invite you to be part of the Heart For The Kingdom. This is a collective opportunity for our church to make a lasting impact on a global scale through an offering above and beyond our normal tithes & offerings. 100% of this offering will be given away outside of Elan Church (yes, seriously, we are giving away ALL of it).  

By contributing to the Heart For The Kingdom, you are supporting vital projects that bring the hope, healing, and power of Jesus to communities in need around the world. Together, we will make a profound impact by fulfilling the commandment Jesus gave us to ‘love one another as He has loved us.’

Where Will Heart For The Kingdom Go?

100% of Heart For The Kingdom will be given away outside of Elan Church (seriously, we don’t keep even $1 of it). This year's offering will be given away to help:

Supporting Survivors of Sex Trafficking (Naomi’s House)

Naomi's House is a beacon of healing, committed to providing a sanctuary for women who have faced the trauma of commercial sexual exploitation. Rooted in compassion, it offers survivors refuge, support, and a transformative path to reclaim their lives through a holistic approach addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. 

As Elan Church, we have the privilege to extend our hands in service and to contribute financially to enabling these remarkable women to experience the love of God, find healing, and embark on a journey toward a fresh start: “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and oppressed” (Psalm 82:3)

Frequently Asked Questions

100% of Heart For The Kingdom will be given away outside of Elan Church (seriously, we don’t keep even $1 of it). This offering will be given to three ministry partners (Naomi’s House, ARC, and Convoy of Hope).

We will have offering moments on Sunday, Dec 7 & Dec 14, but you can give to Heart For The Kingdom now or at any point through the end of the year (Dec 31).

This year, we're giving you the opportunity to fully fund the entirety of projects if you would like to.

Fully Funded Project Options:

  • $1,500 — Sponsors 1 church planter couple through ARC to receive training
  • $13,500 — Funds 1 woman rescued from sex trafficking through Naomi’s House to complete a 12-month restoration program (This amount may also be co-funded by multiple families)

If you give one of these exact amounts (or multiples of them), email us ([email protected]) and tell us which project(s) you want to fund.

Examples
  • $1,000 = “I’d like to fund 1 woman through Convoy of Hope to launch a small business"
  • $3,000 = “I’d like to fund 2 ARC church planters
  • $5,000 = “I’d like to fund 2 ARC church planters and 2 women through Convoy of Hope” 
  • $13,500 = "I’d like to fund 1 woman through Naomi’s House"
