ANTIOCH OFFERING

A GOSPEL-ROOTED COMMUNITY
ON A DISCIPLE-MAKING MISSION

Our mission is to cultivate Christ-treasuring, multiplying disciples

who take the gospel to the ends of the Earth.

Make a Pledge

A Home for Our Church Family

Our new home will establish Palm Vista as a gospel bridge between communities, bringing Miami Gardens, Miami Lakes, Hialeah, and Miramar together. Our central location means families from all walks of life can call us home.

A Haven for the Neighborhood

Our new neighbors identified safety, community, care for the elderly, and support for the youth as top priorities. We will use the property to care for our neighborhood through tutoring, neighborhood events, elder care, and career mentorship. We will also use the property to host events that give our neighbors a place to connect and deepen their sense of shared community.

A Hub for Church Planting

As the son of Cuban immigrants, Al Pino has a decades-long passion for helping pastors flourish in black and brown communities. Paying off our debt allows Palm Vista to support Al’s work, invest in church planting interns, and host events for pastoral development and connection.

A Headquarters for Missions

Miami is a bustling global crossroads. By paying off our debt, Palm Vista will gain the financial freedom needed to support church-planting efforts around the globe. This includes providing offices for Corey Schmatjen, the International Director of the Great Commission Collective, as well as hosting training events for international church planters and network leaders.

Primary Goal:

100% Participation

Our primary goal is for every Palm Vista member to feel ownership for the disciple-making mission God has given us. The church is not the property but is the body of saved sinners who gather to worship God and advance his kingdom. Every gift, large or small, is a God-honoring act of partnership in the mission that Jesus gave to his church.

Not that I seek the gift, but I see the fruit that increases to your credit.

~Philippians 4:17

Secondary Goal:

$4.1 Million

Gifts to the Antioch offering will be used to pay off our loan and renovate the facility, freeing up our regular tithes and offerings for ongoing ministry. Our loan covers the purchase of three properties: the main church facility, a vacant lot, and two residential buildings.

Why “Antioch Offering?”

In the book of Acts, the church in Antioch had a unique gospel impact as a multi-ethnic missionary hub located in a bustling, international city. We believe that God has called Palm Vista to be an “Antioch” church, helping our neighborhood flourish while impacting the nations with the gospel. Owning a permanent facility and the adjoining properties allows us to put down deep roots in our neighborhood while acting as a local and international church planting hub. Being debt-free will enable us to show radical hospitality to our neighbors and give generously to advance the gospel from Miami Gardens to Mumbai!

There is no greater mission on the planet than advancing the kingdom of God on Earth! Would you prayerfully consider joining us in this mission by making a pledge towards the Antioch Offering? We aim for every member to participate at the level God has given them faith and resources for.

As you consider what God would have you give, use this chart as a discipleship tool to inspire you to generosity.
