FAQs
Where do I stay up to date on all things Limitless?
Easy! Head to the Limitless website (https://limitless.highpoint.church) where you can find resources, growth group video curriculum and ongoing updates.
If we are committing to Limitless, how does this change my giving to missions, the general fund, and other special offerings or designated gifts?
During this two-year period, every contribution to God through Highpoint is a contribution to our Limitless initiative. Every aspect of the ministry vision God is calling us towards for the next two years will be funded through Limitless. There will not be separate funds. Every gift that is given to Highpoint will go to the key components of this initiative—to have a Limitless Influence through the lifeblood of what we do daily (our general ministry budget); to have Limitless Opportunity and reach new communities through new Highpoint locations, Highpoint Español, extension churches, and international hubs for church planting; to have Limitless Potential through enhancing our facilities and spiritual environments at our current seven locations; and to have Limitless Legacy through expanding Highpoint CARES, the Care Centers, and reaching the next generation by establishing a legacy of care, a legacy of multiplication, and a gospel legacy to the next generation.
What are you asking me to do?
First and foremost we are asking that you pray and seek God’s leading on what He is asking of you. Prepare your heart to hear Him, and then listen to what He says. Engage in a growth group during this season, if you haven’t already engaged in one. Engage in personal reflection with God through this journal and the growth group video curriculum online at https://limitless.highpoint.church. Talk with your group, your spouse, your family, friends, or others about what this commitment will mean for this next exciting season of your life.
We are asking that you make a commitment to gospel-driven, surrendered generosity—whatever it is that God leads you to do. Follow His leading.
Finally, prepare to be amazed. It is an awesome God that we serve, and we anticipate He will move in huge ways as we seek an unprecedented impact from our collective Limitless commitments—something only God can do. Please mark your calendar for Commitment Sunday, March 20, and prepare to experience a life-changing worship service that will forever be remembered as a defining moment for our church and for our own faith.
Are there additional ways besides cash that I can give more towards Limitless?
Be creative as you explore ways you and your family can give towards Limitless. You might have some stocks, property, or other items of that nature. Or you may have some stored resources that God has blessed you with in the past that He might be calling you to give out of during this time. Please let us know if you need assistance with facilitating non-cash gifts of property, stock or cryptocurrency and we would be happy to help you with that. You can contact our finance team through giving@highpoint.church or calling 630.281.4800 to make a gift of this type.
How long is my commitment?
We are asking that everyone make a two-year commitment. The fulfillment period for your commitment will begin with our First Big Give on Sunday, April 10, 2022 and it will culminate in April of 2024.
What if I don’t have a job right now? What does that mean for my Limitless commitment?
Limitless is about your total, prioritized, gospel-driven generosity to God’s mission at Highpoint. 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. Limitless is about a surrendered heart—one that is only accomplished by seeking the Lord and responding to His call and His Word. So that may mean that you are being challenged to sell things, to pick up odd jobs, or even to trust God in faith by making a commitment that you don’t quite know how to fulfill right now but that you believe God will provide for as you seek for ways to sacrifice and work towards that commitment. We would love for 100% of us to be a part of Limitless so that we can all be supporting, loving, encouraging, and praying for one another through this spiritually stretching season at Highpoint.
What if I’m moving within the next two years or if I am uncertain about how long I’ll be a part of Highpoint?
The truth is that none of us know exactly what our future will hold. That’s the beauty and challenge of taking steps of faith! We want to encourage you that even if you’re not sure if you’ll be a part of Highpoint for the full span of the next two years, we invite you to still commit to generosity and be a part of this life-changing endeavor God has for our church in this season. If needed, you may modify your commitment at any time. But often, people will continue to support Highpoint, even after they’ve left the area—as a ministry they continue to be a part of into the future. If you happen to move out of the area, we would love for that to be your story!
What if I am significantly in debt right now? Am I still supposed to give?
If you are 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, make someone “excused” from giving. Giving isn’t about what God wants from you; rather, it’s about what God wants for you. So it should be our joy and privilege to give at all times, regardless of the amount or percentage. Please contact us if you need assistance with paying off debt while still giving or if you would like to speak with a budgeting counselor. We would be honored to help.
What if I have never even given to Highpoint before?
Limitless was crafted specifically with you in mind. Limitless is a “one fund” generosity initiative, meaning that it is different from a traditional capital campaign where you are called to give an extra gift above and beyond your normal giving - thus creating two steps for people who aren’t yet giving. Limitless is a call to surrendered, gospel-driven generosity for absolutely everyone at Highpoint. If you have never given before, this is your chance to get in the game with committed giving. We really hope you will.
What if I am new around here?
Limitless is about the vision for our church and our personal discipleship in giving as followers of Jesus. 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 Highpoint your home and join us in Limitless. 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 need you on the team!
What if I haven’t been baptized yet?
Great question. People take different spiritual steps at different times. Some begin praying before they begin attending church. Others begin going to a growth group before they begin talking to God in prayer. Giving is another spiritual step, and it comes at different times for different people. One thing is for sure, however. Just like other spiritual disciplines, giving draws us closer to God. And God is calling ALL of us to give. Jesus says, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19) Whether you have taken the spiritual step of baptism or not, we would encourage you to still join us in this Limitless initiative. We firmly believe that it will draw you closer to God and hopefully to a place where you are ready to make the decision to surrender your life to the Lordship of Christ and become baptized.
What’s keeping you from making that important step of faith to be baptized right now if you call yourself a follower of Jesus? One of our pastors would love to talk to you about taking that step! Email us at info@highpoint.church.
