“…And all the believers lived in a wonderful harmony, holding everything in common. They sold whatever they owned and pooled their resources so that each person’s need was met.”

— Acts 2:43, MSG

Your giving helps us spread joy where it’s needed most.

Our Doing Good Fundraiser runs from November 2-16, 2025. We strive to live with the compassion and love of Jesus just like the first-century church in Acts 2:43. This holiday fundraiser enables us to do good and meet needs in four key areas:

  • Benevolence — meets the immediate needs of those in our church who are facing financial hardship

  • E-Life — programs that provide activities for both neurotypical and neurodiverse kids

  • Hope Technology School — our community partner, a leader and voice for inclusive education

  • Disaster relief — support both locally and globally when disaster hits.

The heart behind our giving.

“This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.” — Titus 3:8 NIV

Jesus loved unconditionally, making God known to the world by serving and healing people regardless of whether or not they chose to follow him. As a church, we aim to follow in his footsteps by investing in programs and services that positively impact people’s lives and establish the church as a force for good in our local community. The holidays remind us how powerful it is when people care for each other.

Your generosity helps make that possible.

Helping everyone feel like they belong.

We believe joy grows when everyone is included. Your gift supports programs that make sure kids and adults of all abilities can thrive.

E-Life and E-Sports

Our free programs throughout the Bay Area empower people of all ages and abilities to play, learn, and grow together. Hundreds of kids take part every week at no cost, building friendships and confidence through our inclusive programs. Our partners include the Golden State Warriors & Valkyries, SJ Earthquakes, UC Berkeley and the University of San Francisco.

Hope Technology School

For over 25 years, HTS has been a pioneer in education where both neurotypical and neurodiverse children thrive together in the same classroom. Fully licensed and accredited, HTS has become a national leader in inclusive education. Your support through the Doing Good Fundraiser helps HTS to continue to make an impact.

Helping families through tough times.

When life gets hard, a little help can mean everything. Your donations help us provide relief for families facing emergencies and spread joy to those who need it most.

Benevolence

The Doing Good Fundraiser provides emergency financial support all year long for families dealing with unexpected challenges like medical bills, job loss, or eviction. During the holidays, we help families with groceries and gift cards so that everyone can enjoy a holiday meal and celebrate together.

Disaster relief

The Doing Good Fundraiser gives us the flexibility to help those impacted by disaster both in Northern California and beyond. Last year, we were able to help families in LA impacted by the LA fires. Prior to that, we worked with partners in Ukraine to provide critical assistance to those impacted by the war.

Real people. Real impact.

Every story is a reminder of what’s possible when we come together to do good.

“At E-Sports I see the joy, seeing the parents gain hope, watching the parent’s jaws hang open and tears come to their eyes when they see their kids doing something they never thought they could.”
