Give
Keep it free.
Forever.
UPSTATE JESUS PEOPLE is free to attend. Always. Gifts from people who believe in this keep it that way — funding worship, discipleship, and the service projects that make the Upstate a better place for everyone.
— 2 Corinthians 9:7
Transparency
Year One budget per event: $500–$3,000 depending on scale. We’re lean by design. Every dollar goes to the field.
Year One is funded entirely through freewill offerings and gifts from people who believe in this. A 501(c)(3) application is planned for Year Two if the movement continues.

Give at the gathering

If you can’t give money, give your time. UPSTATE JESUS PEOPLE is volunteer-run, and the people who show up and serve — the hands and feet — are the real donors.
