Monthly Given: $288,289.90 | Monthly Over: $89,865.10
Yearly Given : $4,179,565.17 | Yearly Over: $19,860.17
Dollar Club: $17,029.11
Starting on February 1, 2025, we are making an adjustment to how we report our weekly financial giving. We will not be sharing weekly numbers in terms of giving totals. We recognize that offering styles and rhythms have changed drastically in the last decade or so. Therefore, weekly numbers tend to fluctuate in a way that's unhelpful in seeing our church's overall giving health. In response to this, we will share a monthly financial and giving snapshot on the first Friday of every month that reflects the previous month's giving and budget numbers. We hope that will give a more accurate picture of how our giving has supported the ministry of Sherwood Oaks. If you have any questions, please contact our Business Office Manager Elizabeth Moore or email .
