During the next year, every contribution to God through Anthem is a contribution to our Unfinished initiative. Every aspect of the ministry vision God calls us towards for the next year will be funded through Unfinished. There will not be separate funds. Every gift given to Anthem will go to the two key components of this initiative, our ongoing ministry efforts and our vision to maximize the stewardship of the exterior of our facility and surrounding property!

First and foremost, we ask that you pray and seek God’s leading on what He is asking of you. Prepare your heart to hear Him and listen to what He says. Engage in an Unfinished small group during this season. Engage in personal reflection with God in the Unfinished guidebook.Talk with your group, spouse, family, and friends about what this commitment will mean for this next exciting season of your life.

We ask that you commit to gospel-driven, surrendered generosity whatever it is that God leads you to do. Follow His leading.

Finally, prepare to be amazed. We serve an awesome God, and we anticipate He will move in huge ways as we seek an unprecedented impact from our collective Unfinished commitments something only God can do. Please mark your calendar for Commitment Sunday, February 25, and prepare to experience a life-changing worship service that will forever be remembered as a defining moment for our church and our personal faith.

Be creative as you explore ways you and your family can give toward Unfinished. You may have stocks, property, or other items of that nature. Or you may have stored resources that God has blessed you with in the past that He might be calling you to give out of during this time. Please let us know if you need assistance with facilitating gifts of property or stock, and we would be happy to help you with that. You can contact Debbie Giddens at debbie@weareanthem.church or 918-794-7200 to make a gift of this type. 

Your commitment is a one-year commitment. March 2024 - March2025

Unfinished is about your total, prioritized, gospel-driven generosity to God’s mission through Anthem. We believe that God calls us to action in times of hardship just as much as He does in times of abundance, but that looks different for every person. Unfinished is about a heart surrender and trusting the promptings of the Holy Spirit in your life something that is only accomplished by seeking the Lord and responding to His call and Word. So that may mean that you are being challenged to sell things, to pick up odd jobs, or to trust God in faith by making a commitment that you don't quite know how to fulfill right now but that you believe God will provide for as you seek for ways to sacrifice and work towards that commitment. We would love for 100% of us to be a part of Unfinished so that we can all be supporting, loving, encouraging, and praying for one another through this spiritually-stretching season at Anthem.

The truth is that none of us know exactly what our future will hold. That’s the beauty and challenge of taking steps of faith! We want to encourage you that even if you’re not sure if you’ll be a part of Anthem for the entire span of the next year, we invite you to still commit to generosity and be a part of this life-changing endeavor God has for our church in this season. If needed, you may modify your commitment at any time.


If you are currently working to pay off personal debt, we commend you for making progress on that! We would be happy to help you in this journey or to recommend a budgeting class that might minister to you.  Being in debt does not, however, make someone "excused" from giving. Giving isn't about what God wants from you; it's about what God wants for you. So it should be our joy and privilege to give at all times, regardless of the amount or percentage. Please contact us at office@weareanthem.church if you need assistance with paying off debt while still giving or if you would like to speak with a budgeting counselor, and we would be honored to help.

Unfinished was crafted with you in mind. Unfinished is a "one fund" generosity initiative. It is different from a traditional capital campaign in which you are called to give an extra gift above and beyond your regular giving - thus creating two steps for people who aren't yet giving. Unfinished is a call to surrendered, gospel-driven generosity for everyone at Anthem. If you have never given before, this is your chance to get in the game with committed giving. We hope you will.

Unfinished is about the vision for our church and our personal discipleship in giving as followers of Jesus. We believe that the local church is one of the most compelling missions to give toward, and we would love for you to make Anthem your home and join us in Unfinished. If you are ready for it, this is a perfect time for you to put a stake in the ground and make this your church. We need you on the team!

Great question. People take different spiritual steps at different times. Some people begin praying before they start attending church. Others begin going to a small group before they begin talking to God in prayer.  Giving is another spiritual step; it comes at different times for different people. One thing is for sure, however. Just like other spiritual disciplines, giving draws us closer to God. And God is calling ALL of us to give. Jesus says, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”(Matthew 6:19). Whether you have taken the spiritual step of baptism or haven't yet, we would encourage you to join us in this Unfinished initiative still. We firmly believe that it will draw you closer to God and hopefully to a place where you are ready to make the decision to become baptized and surrender your life to the Lordship of Christ.
