Tithes & Offerings
We believe that God calls us to a life of generosity, love and sacrifice. We see in scripture that life is about others and the only thing that we can take to heaven with us is 'people' and so this affects the way we see and use money.
We believe in the principle of the tithes & offerings and believe that if all contribute then the Church acts as a storehouse caring for those it is called to help and reach.
"Bring the full tithe (10%) into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need." -Malachi 3:10

Global Missions
At Carmel, it is part of our mandate to go into the world and preach the kingdom of God.

We do this by going on mission trips around the world to countries such as Bosnia, Uganda & Zambia
Youth Ministry
We believe that training up the next generation is so important because they are our future world leaders.
​
We are heavily invested in doing this through our R3 youth ministry.
Hamper Project
At Carmel, we have an annual tradition of 'The hamper project' every Christmas.
We usually pack around 1500 food hampers every year to go to those who need them around the Christmas season.
Local Outreach & Events
We think that it is so important to reach out to those in your community as well as our members and offer something that is beneficial to them.
This is why we try our best to plug ourselves into the community and host events for people to come to.
