Miracle Offering
October 3 - November 16
Every fall, as the Thanksgiving season approaches, we hold our annual Heaven to Earth Miracle Offering. It reflects our gratitude for life's blessings and acknowledges that everything we are and possess comes from God. Before we spend on fleeting material things at Christmas, we first lay a gift at His feet.
Your Heaven to Earth contribution supports efforts with eternal consequences:
local and global initiatives, ministry partnerships, and nurturing the next generation of Christian leaders.
This is an opportunity to actively participate in God’s work in a practical and meaningful way, give intentionally, and honor Him with our resources.
We encourage you to prayerfully consider joining us in this partnership this season.
For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

What Is
Heaven to Earth?
Better Together: Bringing Heaven to Earth Through Partnership
An old African proverb says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
Geese figured this out long before people did. That’s why they fly in a V-formation. Scientists tell us they can travel up to 72% farther when they fly together—because each goose creates an updraft for the one behind it. And when they honk, it isn’t just noise—it’s encouragement.
That picture captures what it means to be the church. Sharing the Gospel was never designed to be a solo effort—it is stronger, more effective, and far more joyful when it is done together. The apostle Paul understood this. In his letters, he repeatedly thanked God for those who partnered with him in prayer, in service, and in generosity. In Philippians 1:3–5, he wrote:
“Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now.”
That is the heartbeat of Heaven to Earth—partnership.
It is the rhythm of prayer that keeps believers in step with the Holy Spirit.
It is locking arms with local and global partners so God’s kingdom expands.
It is joyfully giving tithes and offerings so that what God is doing in His people can flow through them to others.
At its core, Heaven to Earth is built on a deep conviction: we are better together. And together, God’s people have the privilege of bringing heaven a little closer to earth.
The invitation is simple: open your heart in prayer. Ask the Spirit to give fresh eyes to see the community and the world. Ask Him to stir the heart toward action and to open the hands in generosity—so that more and more people might come to know the risen Christ.

Generosity
Giving transforms lives.
Often, it was an act of generosity in the Scriptures that preceded some of Jesus’ greatest miracles. At Stonecreek, we choose to live with an abundance mentality, not a scarcity mentality: that God has given us everything we have and He intends for us to share with others through tangible acts of generosity. At Stonecreek, our community supports local and global outreach through a program we call Kingdom Builders.
Stories of Impact
Kingdom Builders is an umbrella term that encompasses what biblical generosity looks like. It involves two things: our tithes and offerings. As we experience God's grace in our hearts, it leads to an open-handedness with our resources. As we give to the benefit of others, we believe it unleashes heaven to Earth.
