FAQ’s
Any journey is bound to bring questions along with it. Here are some answers to some of the most common ones we’ve heard.
-
NEXT IS NOW is a two year generosity journey that officially begins on April 1st, 2026. In the meantime, we’re praying with great expectation that God will impress on each of our hearts how he would have us invest into this vision. Should you decide to make a commitment to NEXT IS NOW, and we receive your commitment card, you will receive clear communication on how to begin fulfilling that commitment and how to track your progress.
-
We’ve already planned a special Commitment Weekend into our NEXT IS NOW series for February 28th/March 1st. During each of those services you will have a clear opportunity to turn in your commitment card.
If you’re unable to attend that weekend, you can turn in your commitment card at any time for it to be counted towards our primary goal of 100% participation.
You may also find it impossible to submit a physical card. In that case, we’ve provided a digital commitment form on this site so you can still participate.
You can also drop the card off at the office, mail it to us, or drop it in the buckets at the end each weekend service.
We’ll be celebrating the total number of commitments on the weekend of March 21st/22nd, so please ensure your commitment is submitted before then.
-
After Commitment Weekend we will be sending out a simple how-to video that explains the step-by-step process of either starting your giving for the first time, or adjusting your current level of generosity to NEXT IS NOW.
Also, here’s a link to our secure Planning Center giving platform here to help you get started.
As always, if you have any questions, please send us a note at giving@plumcreek.church.

NEXT IS NOW is a “One Fund” initiative. This means during this two-year period, every contribution to God through Plum Creek Church is a contribution to NEXT IS NOW. Our ongoing ministry advancement, increased missions efforts, and expanded facilities for the next two years will be funded by NEXT IS NOW. Therefore, every week becomes a time to celebrate and contribute towards what God is doing in us and through us to experience our vision of seeing changed lives, changing lives.

Be creative as you explore ways you and your family can give towards NEXT IS NOW. This could be in the form of stocks, property, or you may have some stored resources that God has blessed you with in the past that He might be inviting you to release or repurpose during this time. Please let us know if you need assistance with arranging gifts of property or stock, and we would be happy to help you with that. You can contact office at giving@plumcreek.church to make a gift of this type.

NEXT IS NOW is about God’s vision for our church and God’s vision for you as his son or daughter. We believe that the local church is one of the most compelling missions to give towards, and we would be honored for you to make Plum Creek Church your home and join us in this NEXT IS NOW adventure. If you are ready for it, this is a wonderful opportunity for you to put a stake in the ground and make this your church and say “Yes!” to this incredible invitation as we all Ask, Believe, and Commit together!

Great question. We’ve said before that we believe all of life is spiritual, which makes the practice of generosity simply an expression of following Jesus. Jesus shares, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19) The journey you’re on is all about your ongoing rearrangement of every aspect of your life around what he says is true. So, we would encourage you to still join us as we Ask, Believe, and Commit in this NEXT IS NOW initiative. We firmly believe that it will draw you closer to God and hopefully move you towards greater trust in him and to experience his love for you.
