Big Connection Resources

Welcome to The Big Connection!

The Big Connection is our annual fundraising initiative that enables corps to raise funds for their own mission and ministry, support a local social work expression, or contribute to another corps’ efforts that align with their values. Fundraising is not merely a means to an end; it is an integral part of how we fulfill our calling. When we invite others to give, we invite them into the mission of God. 

Our fundraising activities empower us to be “the hands and feet” of Jesus, as we share love and extend healing to those who are broken, hurting and hopeless in our local communities. This initiative allows us to build genuine connections in our community and encourages everyone to participate in making it better.
