Genuine Generosity
sometimes we miss the chance for generosity.
There are different reasons: time, energy, or a lack of knowing who or how to help. All of these roadblocks are preventing us from being able to experience the true joy of being generous.
THE BIG GIVE exists to help remove all the hurdles keeping you from being able to help those in need.

What does the Bible say about generosity?
We believe God invites us to have a heart of Genuine Generosity.
The Lord calls for us to be generous (1 Timothy 6:18), to help those in need (Matthew 25:40), to give from a gracious heart, without expectation of reward or return (2 Corinthians 9:7). In doing so, we honor God, not only by following His Word but by allowing His love to be clearly shown to those around us (2 Corinthians 9:11).
Everyone matters to God whether God matters to them or not.
SOS Ministries
“Two years ago we launched our Ignite the Next Generation capital campaign, our heart is to make more room for more people. Part of this is to add more space for vocational training so parents can come learn a skill and get their dignity back and see the glory of God come to their families and the Bryan/College Station area.”
– J.J. Ramirez

BCS Together
“As a parent advocate, Families Count (with BCS Together) has enabled me to walk alongside a mom who has lost custody of her children and remind her God’s promises of forgiveness and restoration. Families Count helps them build healthy relationships and offers fundamental classes that help them move forward with a positive outlook.”

Eastside Community Church
“I learned so much about what it means to follow Jesus in my time there at (Brazos Fellowship) and felt God put a calling on my heart toward church planting and pastoring. Vision at ECC is to Shine the light of Jesus in East Austin, relationships restored, and leaders developed for the glory of God!”
