Be Rich Missions

“Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.” 1 Timothy 6:18

“Be Rich is a movement of generosity marked by compassion, hope, and love. When we give, we are punching holes in the darkness of Miami and Shelby Counties!” – Pastor Mark Coulter

Be Rich is an agreement with God to be personally involved in ministry to others – locally and around the world – through giving beyond tithing. It is our privilege to partner with the work God is already doing to see more and more holes punched in the darkness throughout our region and the world.

At The Valley Church, we have three buckets for giving: tithes, expansion related projects, and Be Rich. We believe that God calls us to radical generosity towards missions. Our goal is to fill the Be Rich bucket to overflowing so that we can reach thousands of people who need hope.

Our goal for 2026 is $250,000.

On commitment Sunday March 1 and through March 22, we are asking you to bring your one-time gift, a recurring monthly gift, or both – for “Be Rich” to fill our 2026 mission’s bucket. Every gift is important. The amount of your gift is to be what the Lord has placed on your heart. We are praying for 100% participation – that no matter how small or how large the gift, everyone will participate.

Throughout history, God has called his people to be rich by giving generously to those in need. Together we can be a church that punches holes in the darkness so people experience spiritual victory, physical healing, the poor are helped, and the marginalized are seen.

Join us in praying that God will be glorified in all that we do and all that He is doing in us. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey.

Victory Sunday is March 22.

We are incredibly excited for our new partnership with the country of Cuba through our denomination, The Church of the Nazarene. Even in the midst of many hardships and extreme poverty, there are many churches being planted each year and we are thrilled to come alongside those pastors and the district leadership to help punch even more holes in the darkness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are we doing the Be Rich initiative?

God has given us a vision to send $1 million over the next four years to impact people locally, globally, and throughout our country. And, by the end of 2026, we could be halfway there! This initiative will provide the resources to take our next steps to accomplish this God-sized vision.

Why now?

There are millions of people who don’t have a relationship with Jesus Christ, that do not know where their next meal is coming from, and who have been forgotten. This initiative will play a life-changing role in seeing many people start a relationship with Jesus, have food in their stomachs, receive the care that they need, and experience the love of Jesus in ways that they never knew existed.

What do I need to do?

Begin praying now about how the Lord will lead you to use your resources to help MORE people experience the love of Jesus in their lives and families. Our hope is that every person will join us as we seek to punch thousands and thousands of holes into the darkness with the love and hope that the light of Christ brings. Commitment Day is the day we are asking you to bring your one-time gift and your one-year commitment to Be Rich. We are praying for 100% participation – that no matter how large or how small the gift, everyone will participate.
