Estimates of Giving for 2026
As the church begins to plan for ministries in 2026, it’s helpful to have an estimate of resources available to work with in the coming year. All who give to Thanksgiving are invited to fill out an Estimate of Giving for 2026.
If you prefer digital, an online Estimate of Giving card option is available here.
Thank you for your partnership in sharing the promises of God’s grace, forgiveness, and eternal life so that all may come to believe in Jesus.
All-In Celebration
We had an incredible night at the All-In Celebration on November 16th. There were inspiring stories from people who have taken steps to be All-In, and others impacted by your commitment to being All-In on the Five Choices. There were incredible times of worship through songs led by the Next Gen team. Oh, and there was something about a “Pastor Bunch”….

When you’re starting to make your way in the world, it helps to know that you’re not alone. The Young Adults group meets on Mondays from 7 to 9pm. Right now we’re diving into the book of Ephesians in the Bible. It’s a great time for meaningful connections and conversations. Come on in!
NEXT
Vision Campaign
In order to continue to grow in our mission and vision, Thanksgiving has embarked on a three-year vision campaign called NEXT. Visit the NEXT page for more information. There is still time to participate. The NEXT Guidebook – available in print on campus or online on the NEXT page – is a great resource to learn more about the vision campaign.
Thanksgiving Leadership Academy
We believe that everyone can lead because everyone has influence. The next cohort of the Thanksgiving Leadership Academy will begin in January 2026. This transformative 18-month experience is filled with opportunities to not only grow as a leader, but also to grow as a disciple of Jesus. The number of participants is limited each year. If you would like to learn more about the Leadership Academy or submit an application to be considered for the next cohort, please visit this page.
