Legacy Offering
Building a Kingdom Legacy
Hey Church!
It’s been incredible reflecting on the impact of 20+ years of Life Church! The lives reached, the families empowered, and the difference Jesus has made in our communities. 20 years all about Jesus and His mission to reach people. Our Legacy giving is all about reaching people; it’s our faith in action.
Legacy is our opportunity to pledge over and above our tithe (10%) towards projects that reach and empower people locally, regionally, and globally. This is not about paying the bills or painting the walls - Legacy is completely dedicated to missional projects. Through our faithful giving we have been able to invest $2 million dollars into reaching and empowering people in the last 4 years alone! This money went towards so many projects, including providing shelter and education for orphans, helping farmers struggling through droughts, and packing and giving out over 3,500 Christmas food boxes for families in need.
This year we are excited to continue partnering with so many organisations and missionaries, as well as some new projects that are going to increase the reach of the Gospel across Australia, and support the persecuted church globally!
Every pledge makes a difference and we all have an opportunity to join our faith and our finances to building a Kingdom Legacy for our children, and our children’s children! Church, let’s rise up and carry the mission Jesus gave us to reach the one - Legacy is for the one!

Together we can Build a Kingdom Legacy
Our faith goal is that we would see over 250 giving groups step out in faith over these 12 months to be a part of building a Kingdom Legacy. Together, we believe we can pledge to give $600,000 towards our faith future. So let's rise up together and be faithful with what's in our hands. If you would like to make a Legacy pledge you can do so using a pledge form at your location, or online through the link below.

Frequently Asked Questions
What will the Legacy Offering go towards?
Our Legacy giving goes to things that help us reach and empower more people. This includes community outreach and programs, location expansion and purchase, as well as our global missions. Maintenance, repairs and general wages do not come out of Legacy giving. For a full list of Legacy Projects, view the Legacy Magazine.
Does my giving go towards my location?
Yes, your giving does go towards your location, as we together resource the vision across all locations. We have exciting giving projects across all locations, and we believe we are one church family. We exist to strengthen, support and encourage one another in our mission to reach people with the love, grace and power of the Gospel. For this reason, our Legacy Offering goes towards the building of our joint legacy across all Life Church locations.
What are Vision Partners and Kingdom Builders?
Every one of the giving groups will make up our Vision Army. Within our Vision Army, Life Church has a body of givers who pledge to bring in amounts over $3,000 in the giving cycle - these are our Vision Partners. Additionally, there are those who pledge in amounts of $8,000 and over in the giving cycle - these are our Kingdom Builders. As key givers, our Vision Partners and Kingdom Builders gather throughout the year to be empowered and equipped in this vital role as vision releasers.
Is my giving tax-deductible?
Your Legacy giving is not tax-deductible.
When should I honour my pledge?
