Giving Menu
2x a year at Mosaic, we bundle financial needs into our Easter and Christmas offerings. In the meantime, find items here that match your passion so to give generously beyond regular tithes and offerings.
We prayerfully invite you to give toward the following goals on or before December 31, 2026.
A. Rising costs of living, health insurance, and other expenses continue to place financial pressure on the church’s operating budget.
B. Your generosity helps us keep pace with these rising costs and provide competitive compensation and benefits for Mosaic’s staff team, who faithfully serve and care for our church family and people in this community week after week.
A. Rising costs for goods and services impact the ministries and programs we provide.
B. Your generosity helps fund ongoing ministries for children and students, adult discipleship opportunities, and other events planned for FY 2027, ensuring these programs can continue without unnecessary financial limitations.
A. As Children’s Ministry continues to grow, we need to prepare intentionally for its next season of leadership while freeing Lauren Carrión to expand her ministry leadership among adults.
B. These funds will help us hire and train additional staff in FY 2028, giving them time to learn the ministry, build relationships with children, families, and volunteers, and ensure a strong, seamless leadership transition on or before July 1, 2028..
A. The sinks and faucets in the front of the building, originally installed in 2016, have become increasingly problematic over the past two years due to heavy use. Persistent leaks, discontinued replacement parts, and repeated unsuccessful repair attempts by multiple contractors have led to the recommendation that they be removed entirely and rebuilt from the ground up.
B. The good news is that the cost of the project will be shared among Mosaic Church, Vine & Village, and Midtown Event Center, reducing the financial burden on any one organization.
A. When actual monthly giving falls short of anticipated giving, we may need to draw on our line of credit to cover regular expenses and maintain ministry operations.
B. Likewise, unexpected needs or necessary but unbudgeted expenses that arise during the year may require us to use the line of credit.
C. Your generosity will help us repay the outstanding balance, reduce interest costs, and position Mosaic to enter the new year on stronger financial footing.
A. Last year, we began establishing prudent reserves—funds set aside to strengthen our financial foundation and ensure long-term stability. These reserves provide savings for operational expenses, unforeseen needs, repairs on depreciating assets, and capital to take advantage of unexpected opportunities.
B. Financial experts recommend that churches and nonprofits maintain at least three months of operational expenses in reserve. Our long-term goal is to build approx. $900,000 in prudent reserves—a level that would provide Mosaic with healthy stability and flexibility for the future.
C. During the first 10 years of Mosaic, we saved nearly $1 million with the future in mind; resources that ultimately helped make possible the purchase and renovation of the building we occupy today. Just as the foresight and generosity of those who came before us helped secure Mosaic’s future, now it’s our turn to do the same for those who will come after us, building reserves to meet unexpected needs, seize new opportunities, and ensure Mosaic’s financial strength and stability for generations to come.
D. Reaching this year’s goal will bring our total operational reserves to $150,000—almost 17% of our $900,000 long-term prudent reserves goal—as we continue building toward lasting financial strength and sustainability.
Burn the Mortgage. Finish the Facility.
On or before Easter, April 21, 2030.
Officially launching on April 3, 2027, our FUTUREFORWARD campaign is focused on two goals essential to Mosaic’s future growth, and one additional, aspirational goal that will complete the rennovation of the entier 100,000 sf building we occupy.
A Eliminate our $2 million mortgage. Becoming mortgage-free will free $20,000 each month—$240,000 annually—for long-term investment in the ministry and mission of both Mosaic Church and Vine & Village, while also saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in future interest payments at our current 7.75% rate.
B. Create a dedicated Student Ministries center: est. $600,000. Students in grades 6–12 currently have no space within our facility to call their own. They meet on Sunday mornings in two small classrooms and on Monday nights in Town Hall. By transforming The Orchard’s current warehouse into a dedicated Student Ministries venue, we can give our students a welcoming, engaging space designed specifically for them—a place to belong, build relationships, grow as disciples, invite friends, and develop as the next generation of Mosaic. Included in this project is additional office and classroom space.
C. Center Faith & Prayer in a Chapel: est. $600,000. Transform approximately 2,500 square feet of unfinished patio space at the front of our building into a beautiful chapel—a warm, intimate, and transcendent space for sacred moments with the Lord. The chapel will visibly center the faith and prayer that have shaped Mosaic’s past and must remain central to our future. Included in this project is additional office and classroom space.
Toward this end, we are prayerfully seeking lead gifts or committed pledges totaling $1.6M dollars on or before April 3, 2027. That night, we will officially launch the campaign, seeking additional gifts and pledges totaling $1.6M dollars on or before Easter, April 21, 2030—before Mosaic's 30th anniversary.
To learn more, give now, or pledge to give in the future, please contact Rafael Estrella.

Mosaic turns 24 on May 31, 2026! To celebrate, let's give $100 per year for each of the 24 years to date. We'll use this as seed money to begin planning our 25th anniversary celebration in 2027.
Christmas Offering 2025—Final Results & Spend Plan
Way to go, Mosaic... Thank you, Lord!
A. As Mosaic continues to grow and experience fresh momentum following the challenges of COVID, we give thanks for the incredible team God has assembled to lead and serve our church family. Week after week, they give their best—teaching, guiding, praying, and caring for our people and community.
B. At the same time, rising costs of living, health insurance, and other expenses have created new financial pressures. The $60,000 will strengthen our commitment to these key staff members—dedicated leaders who faithfully serve at compensation levels below what they truly deserve.
C. Your generosity will allow us to better care for those who so faithfully care for us. Together, let’s bless our team this Christmas and position Mosaic for continued growth and impact in the year ahead.
Together with an additional $93,000 already in-hand and earmarked to put toward principal in January 2026, this money will allow us essentially to double that amount, resulting in a savings of approx. $3,000 - $3,5000 per month in mortgage payments.
A. Last March, our mortgage interest rate increased for the first time in over nine years—from 4.5% to 7.75%—raising our monthly payment by about $5,000. In addition, we created and funded a new Missions Pastor position to strengthen our outreach efforts. Together, these changes resulted in a planned FY25 budget deficit of $109,000.
B. By paying down principal in January, we’ll begin to reduce our monthly mortgage payments. As we continue in this direction, it’s our goal to move beyond annual deficits and return to balanced budgets as soon as possible in the future.
A. This year's planned deficit has required us to draw on our line of credit over the past five months to cover regular expenses and maintain ministry operations.
B. As part of our year-end giving goal, we’re seeking to repay $50,000 toward that balance, reducing interest costs and positioning us to begin the new year on stronger financial footing.
A. 56 overhead lights in the Children's Ministry area are 10 years old and need to be replaced due to ongoing performance issues. To keep things consistent, we need to replace the current fixtures with LED fixtures. — Total cost: $13,000
B. The 24 canned lights in the Studio are 10 years old and need to be replaced due to ongoing performance issues. To keep things consistent, we need to replace the current lighting with the same fixtures newly installed in the Warehouse. Each fixture costs ~$1,000 — Total cost: $22,500
C. 3 HVAC units (Town Hall, Studio, and old office area) have cracked heat exchangers and are no longer operative. With the Winter coming, these need to be fixed. Like the lighting above, these are 10 years old, Repairs should be good for the next 7 years or so. To replace the units would be approx. $100,000. Click here toward the repair of these units. — Total cost: $26,000
D. Sink in the Men's Bathroom (front of building)
This is to correct an installation problem dating back to 2016 that renders 1-2 faucets inoperable and otherwise causes leaking down the wall. Click here to give for the sink's replacement. — Total projected cost: $16,000 (actual cost ~$1,000)
E. Replace Faulty Lights in Town Hall
This is to update lights that have dimmed over the past ten years in our cross (ceiling) and underneath the edges of perimeter walls. —Total projected cost: $4,000 (actual cost ~$3,500)
F. Purchase a New Behringer Sound Board
This is a direct upgrade of the current model we have, increasing our inputs and outputs by 50% (32in > 48in // 16out > 24out) to support addtional singers,musicians (particulary for special events like Christmas and Easter,), the Event center, and destinations for our services. — Total projected cost: $3,500
A. This year, we also want to begin establishing prudent reserves—funds set aside to ensure stability in seasons of unexpected need or opportunity.
B. Financial experts recommend that churches and nonprofits maintain at least three months of operating expenses in reserve; these are not funds we intend to draw from monthly, but rather to build gradually over time to strengthen Mosaic’s long-term sustainability and resilience.
C. FYI, over the course of the first 10 years of our church we saved almost $1,000,000 in such an account, looking ahead to the purchase and renovation of the buidling we now occupy. Today we all benefit from those who came before us and invested with the future in mind, Now it's our turn to follow suit, helping to ensure Mosaic's financial viability for decades to come.
D. Our long-term goal is to build $500,000 in prudent reserves—a level that would provide Mosaic with healthy stability and flexibility for the future. Reaching this year’s goal will move us ~20% in the right direction, an important first step toward long-term financial strength and sustainability.
