2025 End of Year Giving

Online Giving

As we look back on all God has done in 2025, we are filled with gratitude for the way Jesus has guided and strengthened High Tide Church every step of the way. Your generosity this year has been truly amazing—you are High Tide Church, and every ministry we carry out is only possible because of your faithful giving.

As we prayerfully look ahead to 2026, we invite you to consider an end-of-year gift to help us continue sharing the love of Jesus in our community. All 2025 giving must be received by December 31, 2025, and any checks mailed in should be postmarked no later than December 31 to be counted for this year.

Thank you for the way you love, serve, and give. We are excited to follow Jesus together into all He has planned for HTC.

Please note: Children must attend with a parent or guardian. This is not a drop-off event. Come ready to laugh, learn, and make memories!

Lottie Moon Christmas Offering

Online giving: December 1-31

In-Person Giving: December 24

As we enter this season of Christmas celebration, we are honored to participate in the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering — a special offering named after Lottie Moon, a faithful missionary who served almost forty years in China (1873–1912). 

The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering exists to enable global missionaries — currently more than 3,500 sent by the International Mission Board (IMB) — to share the gospel, plant churches, and bring hope to people who have never heard.  What makes this offering so special is that 100% of all gifts go directly to missionaries on the field — supporting their daily needs, ministry work, outreach, and care.

We are very grateful for your partnership with us in this ministry. This December we are accepting online giving for Lottie Moon throughout the month, and we will also collect in-person gifts on Christmas Eve — the only offering our church will receive that night. If you prefer to give by cash or check, you may use a regular High Tide Church giving envelope (just mark it “Lottie Moon”).

Your generosity fuels compassion, training, and the spread of the gospel around the world. Thank you for supporting this amazing ministry and making a difference for God’s kingdom.

Winter Small Groups have been refreshed, and there’s a place for you!

Some of our groups are happily continuing their current studies right on through the spring, while others are jumping into brand-new topics we’re excited to share. Whether you’re eager to try something new or jump into a group that’s already in motion, you’re welcome to join at any time—no pressure, just community, growth, and encouragement as we seek God together. Don’t miss out on what God may have for you this season—sign up today and get connected!

It's also a time that you are able to have a one-on-one conversation with an elder or deacon about your salvation. 

There are two parts to the registration.
Step 1: Complete Request Form with includes your contact information.
Step 2: When you submit the form you will be prompted to complete the Attendee Information Section — the information collected is needed to schedule your baptism. After you submit the Attendee Information Form, you will be contacted by Carrie Boyden.
