Christmas is a season filled with meaningful traditions. At Deer Creek Church, one of our favorite traditions is using the month of December as a special opportunity to give generously—beyond our normal ministry—to bless and strengthen our church-planting partners.

This year, we’re thrilled to announce that our Christmas giving focus is expanding our church-planting partnerships!

Right now, through our regular budget, we support 4 local church plants, 5 church plants in the United Kingdom, and 2 in South Africa. Our general fund dedicates $250,000 each year to help these ministries thrive.

But we believe God is inviting us to do even more.

This December, we’re asking our church family to help raise an additional $150,000 so we can expand our partnerships both locally and around the world.

Looking ahead to 2026, our hope is to add 3 new local church planters and 3 new international partners. We also plan to strengthen our current partnerships by increasing our financial support—from $10,000 to $15,000 per year for each international partner and from $24,000 to $36,000 per year for each local planter.
