God is leading us into a two-year discipleship journey, and it is the first time ever for our church. 12Stone Church was built for a season like this, and so were you, yet it’s not about us. It’s about Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit at work in us. Our primary goal is to build disciples by answering the question, “What am I building my life on?”
This primary goal challenges each and every one of us to take significant next steps of obedience to what God is calling us into in this next season.
We are trusting God with a secondary goal of $110 million for vision advancement as we partner with God to build an unshakeable future.
We will fuel ongoing ministry for all ages so everybody can Know God, Find Freedom, Discover their Purpose, and Make a Difference.
We will continue to reach our communities and our ONE over the next two years.
We will continue to Make a Difference through new and existing local and global partnerships.
As we walk through this two-year discipleship journey, we have prepared a list of resources to help you along the way.
Hear how God is moving during this unshakeable journey. Listen to the stories of growth and life-change.
First and foremost, Unshakeable is a discipleship journey. We want to deepen our understanding of who God is and our response to Him in every aspect of our lives. When we see who God truly is, we freely respond with surrender, generosity, trust, and worship in every area of our lives. We want you to continue to grow as a disciple by attending weekend services, becoming a Daymaker, attending spiritually-catalytic events, growing in prayer and Bible reading, joining a group, and making a difference in your local community.
Next, Unshakeable is designed to help 12Stone move vision forward! There are 12 key elements of a two-year vision for 12Stone and you’ll see those on this website across 3 lanes of Unshakeable Lives, Unshakeable Communities and Unshakeable Impact.
Financial resources make the vision possible, we invite you to pray and discern how God would ask you to give to this vision. Allow Him to inspire and challenge you toward greater generosity as you build the unshakeable life that Jesus offers.
If you attended Worship and Vision night or received a physical Unshakeable: Stand Firm series guide, you should have received a Recommitment card.
If you’re newer to 12Stone, or weren’t ready to commit the first time around, these cards will give you the opportunity to jump into the second half of our Unshakeable journey.
For anyone who has already been a part of Unshakeable, this is your opportunity to recommit to standing strong in what God has called you to.
Maybe your circumstances have changed, and your commitment needs to reflect that change. You can make those adjustments here, too.
Recommitment Sunday will be on March 22, so bring your cards with you to service that Sunday.
If you can’t make it in person to fill out the recommitment card you can fill it out online by clicking the commit button at the top of this page.
Our Unshakeable journey began May of 2024. Anything that you give to Unshakeable will continue through the end of the journey in May 2027.
During our Unshakeable journey, we are all in this together to build disciples and an unshakeable future. Here’s a guiding thought for one fund giving – “Anyone who gives anything goes to everything.” There is no designated giving during this two-year journey. During these two years, every gift that is given to 12Stone Church will go to Unshakeable (which includes all three lanes – Unshakeable Lives, Communities, and Impact).
You may have been part of past giving initiatives where you were asked to give a second gift or give “above and beyond” your usual tithes/offerings to make special initiatives possible. During these two years, there are no separate funds or special initiatives. Every gift that is given to 12Stone Church will go to our three key lanes of Unshakeable Lives, Unshakeable Communities, and Unshakeable Impact.
Be creative as you explore ways you and your family can give towards Unshakeable. You might have stocks, cryptocurrency, donor-advised funds, or other giving methods. Or you may have stored resources (savings, real estate, personal possessions, retirement accounts, etc…) that God has blessed you with and we invite you to prayerfully ask God how He would have you give out of these stored resources. 12stone.com/other-ways-to-give offers guidance to giving through these additional methods.
Please let us know if you need assistance with facilitating gifts of property or stock, or have any giving questions, and we would be happy to help you! You can contact our finance team at Generosity@12stone.com.
Everyone who commits and/or gives to Unshakeable will receive quarterly email updates on all the vision elements of Unshakeable and our progress in generosity.
The best way to be all in on Unshakeable includes giving. With that said, we know people are in varying places on their giving journey. We’d encourage you to take a step in giving, this is a great time for some to start giving for the first time! Our whole church is part of Unshakeable. So, we hope God grows generosity in all of us through these two years, but feel free to jump into other ways to serve in Unshakeable as we move forward. You can jump into serving at Kids Camp, Buddies, go on mission trips, and more! You’ll be invited to attend Discipleship Retreats and other special gatherings throughout Unshakeable.
First, it is not about the size of the gift, but taking your next step in obedience in generosity towards what God is calling you to in this season. God may be calling you to make a commitment that you don’t quite know how to fulfill right now, but you believe God will provide for you as you seek ways to sacrifice and work towards that commitment.
Unshakeable is about deepening your understanding of who God is and responding with an eternal perspective that leads us to know Him at a greater depth. The outpouring of that is responding with a new level of generosity. We believe that God calls us to action in times of hardship just as much as He does in times of abundance and that looks different for every person. But Unshakeable is about a heart change — one that is only accomplished by surrendering our lives completely over to God in all areas, including generosity.
If you are someone currently seeking to make payments to pay off debt right now, we commend you for making progress on that. And you should continue to do so.
We would be happy to help you in this journey and/or to recommend a budgeting class that might minister to you. Being in debt does not, however, remove us from giving. Giving is not about what God wants from you; rather, it’s about what God wants for you. So, it is our joy and privilege to give at all times. Please contact us at Generosity@12stone.com if you need assistance with this or if you would like to speak with a financial counselor and we would be honored to help.
If you have never given at 12Stone before, Unshakeable is a wonderful time to start! This is your chance to grow in giving and commit to the vision of our church. We really hope Unshakeable will help thousands take the first step in giving.
Because Unshakeable is a one fund generosity initiative, it is different from a traditional capital campaign where you are invited to give an extra gift above and beyond your normal giving. Instead of two steps, supporting a general fund with tithing and then supporting Unshakeable, there is only one – give to the Unshakeable one fund.
Unshakeable is about where God is leading 12Stone Church. We believe that the local church is one of the most compelling missions to give towards and we would really love for you to make 12Stone your home and join us on this Unshakeable journey. If you are ready for it, this is a perfect time for you to put a stake in the ground and make this your church.
We’re here to help you! For all questions related to Unshakeable, please email info@12stone.com.
