What is the Because We Care…generosity initiative? And how can you be a part of it? Watch this video to learn from our pastors and from a few people of Boone UMC!
Because We Care… is a two-year one-fund generosity initiative through which we’ll expand our church’s outreach and enhance our campus, growing in our mission to love our community and invite all to discover life in Christ. We’ll have the opportunity to make a sacrificial commitment in response to God’s sacrificial love and care for us, our community, and our world. Why will we give? Because We Care!

What is the Because We Care... initiative?
IMPACT
Through our Because We Care… initiative, we want to ensure Boone UMC’s ministry impact now and in the future. We’ll resource our existing ministries and missions giving for 2024/2025, strive to become debt-free, and establish operational reserves. Being good stewards in these areas will enable us to embrace our value of being “ready to do something.”
PRESENCE
Our church’s campus is a tangible presence of the love of Christ in our community, a spiritual home in which we worship and from which we are sent out to mission. Through our Because We Care… initiative, we will make necessary repairs and upgrades to ensure that our presence at 471 New Market Boulevard is welcoming and Christ-centered for generations to come.
COMMUNITY
Boone UMC strives to be the hands and feet of Jesus to our community, embracing our value that “everyone everywhere matters.” Through our Because We Care… initiative, we hope to expand community outreach by establishing a Christ-centered after-school program, enhancing the Boone United Trail, and maximizing our firewood and other BUMC-driven ministries.
