What is Build Together?

Every year, City Church California holds a special "Build Together" offering where we all give a one-time sacrificial financial gift over and above our tithes. We will do this to propel our church into all we believe God wants to do in California.

These offerings have never been about equal giving but equal sacrifice. We believe that when we collectively give sacrificially, God responds extravagantly.
