Week after week, together at Local, we capture something beautiful. We believe that God has a purpose for your life and desires to have a relationship with you. That’s why we proclaim the simple yet revolutionary message of Jesus Christ.
 
Our goal is to attain self-sufficiency by 2026 without relying on outside help through partnering churches or individual supporters of Local. Our full-time staff members are committed to raising half of their support for a period of three years. Working together can significantly impact Ashland and achieve this goal sooner. Moreover, meeting and exceeding the budget means expanding our impact.

We are doing well but need your financial support to transition into our fall season. To conclude our summer, would you offer a special birthday gift to celebrate our first birthday? Regular monthly contributions, love offerings, and quarterly gifts are all significant ways to support us as we work toward growth and sustainability over the next three years.
 
One of the best decisions Bethany and I have made regarding our stewardship is setting up automatic giving. Our family's contributions are consistent, and we prioritize sending our donation first to support the church's mission: to move people to love like Jesus.
 
We are grateful for your generosity. Making a recurring donation to Local is as simple as setting up an online gift. Just visit go to the online giving section or check out the five ways to give on our website. Alternatively, you can send a check to our PO Box 46, Ashland, VA 23005, with details of your gift for the new year or drop it in one of the giving boxes at Local.
 
We are thankful for everyone’s past financial support, and we are excited to continue partnering with you to expand God's Kingdom in Ashland and beyond. Let's celebrate our 1st birthday with momentum as we head into the fall. We are just getting started!
