Challenge Sunday

Also in conjunction with our Annual Homecoming will be a wonderful opportunity called Challenge Sunday. Since 1980 the College Hills Church has designated one Sunday each year as a time to give above and beyond our normal budget for additional ministry needs ... this is "Challenge Sunday". The first year a goal of $13,000 (three times our regular budget at the time) was set to fund some extraordinary needs. In the years since the family at College Hills has given over $1,816,000 for special needs here in Wilson County and around the world.

In 2009, all contributions given above budget will go to relief ministries like Healing Hands International, Habitat for Humanity of Wilson County, Wilson County Community Help Center, and the Compassion Center at College Hills. Please pray for God to bless this offering.
