Hope Has a Place to Grow With Your Help
Every day, people across Chicago and beyond are searching for hope, direction, and a deeper connection with God. Next Ministries exists to meet people right where they are — online, in person, and in the heart of our communities.
Your gift makes that possible.
Why Your Gift Matters
People are longing for faith that meets them in real life. Your generosity fuels the work that helps them experience exactly that—whether through digital discipleship, worship gatherings, daily text prayers, or tangible community care.
When you give, you’re not just donating.
You’re building spiritual pathways. You’re meeting real needs. You’re helping people take their next step toward Christ.
Lives are Being Changed Because of You
Every day, God is opening doors for us to meet real needs, build real relationships, and help people take real steps toward Christ. Your generosity fuels these moments.
Before you explore the stories below, know this:
Every one of them is possible because someone like you chose to give.
CarePortal
Meeting Needs the Moment They Appear
A young mother aging out of foster care with a two-year old daughter. A young mom with two autistic boys in need of a double stroller. A sixteen year old and their family in need of groceries. What seems like basic needs for most, are huge obstacles for others. CarePortal brings these needs to us so that together with your help we can meet the need and the moment.
Christmas Shop
Christmas Shop: Restoring Dignity, Sparking Joy
Every year, families walk into our Christmas Shop worried they won’t be able to provide gifts for their children. They leave with smiles, relief, and a sense of dignity—because they’re able to purchase brand-new toys at prices they can afford.
It’s more than a toy.
It’s hope wrapped in possibility.
Your gift makes moments like these real.
Food Pantry
Food Pantry Partnership: Feeding Our Neighbors
Our partnership with Vineyard Church Hyde Park allows us to put food directly into the hands of families facing food insecurity. Every bag distributed is a reminder that God cares about daily bread—both physical and spiritual.
Your giving keeps shelves stocked and hearts encouraged.
Digital Ministry
Reaching People Where They Are
More and more people are exploring faith online long before they ever step into a church. Through our digital ministry efforts—faith discussions, daily text prayers, worship experiences, and online messages—people across Chicago and around the world are being discipled in places they never expected: their phones, their homes, their commutes, and their everyday moments.
Your generosity helps us:
- Create high-quality digital content that introduces people to Christ.
- Host online faith discussions where real questions lead to real transformation.
- Reach seekers who may never attend a traditional church.
- Build technology systems that make discipleship accessible 24/7.
You’re helping people find Jesus in the middle of their real lives.
Your Gift In Action
What Your Giving Makes Possible
Your support directly fuels ministry in these ways:
- Daily Text Prayers reaching hundreds every morning with encouragement and Scripture
- Faith Discussions that create safe spaces for people exploring Christianity
- Worship gatherings that connect faith to everyday life
- Community care through CarePortal, the Christmas Shop, and food distribution
- Global ministry expansion reaching people far beyond Chicago
Even a single gift can create ripple effects you may never see—but God does.
