All of the offering we receive during our Christmas Eve services on December 24th, 2024 will go directly to support four recipients:
1. Apple pregnancy care center
The first recipient is Apple Pregnancy Care Center, a long-standing share partner of Jacob’s Well. For over 40 years, Apple has provided life-changing support to women, children, and families. Melinda Gardner, their longtime director, recently announced her transition into a new season. Whitney sat down with her to reflect on some of her favorite memories of Apple and her confidence in the brilliant staff and leadership team guiding the center into an exciting future.
2. JW Benevolence Fund
The second recipient is our Benevolence Fund, which embodies our commitment to being the hands and feet of Jesus in our community. Through this fund, we provide essential support for families in need, whether it’s helping a single mom get a washing machine so she no longer has to use laundromats or stepping in to prevent a family’s electricity from being shut off. Many in the Chippewa Valley live near or below the poverty line, often without access to government aid, and benevolence helps fill that gap. By giving to the Benevolence Fund, you are helping individuals and families move forward in hope and healing, reflecting the love of Jesus in a tangible way.
3. Venture Scholarships
This year's Christmas Eve offering also supports Venture Scholarships, transforming lives and shaping the next generation of Christ-centered leaders. Brian Sullivan, Head of School, and Valerie Johnson, a parent and staff member, share powerful stories of how these scholarships make a world-class education accessible to families, empowering students to grow in faith, character, and leadership. See how this special offering is creating a brighter future for our community and beyond.
4. Making Room Special Projects
And finally, this special offering will help us take the first steps in our Making Room Initiative. Together, we’re transforming our church to better serve our community with projects like a new parking lot and driveway, updated signage, a storage facility, and refreshed interiors. These improvements will create a welcoming space where everyone can take steps to know and become like Jesus. Your giving helps us start this journey and expand our impact for God’s kingdom in 2025. Let’s make room for what God is about to do!
WHAT IS MAKING ROOM?
Go Deeper– Pastor Paul and Shua talk more about Making Room in these podcasts!
We’re Making Room, for People.
The Making Room Initiative is our response to the growth we’re experiencing and our need for more space—physically and spiritually–as we welcome more people into our church family.
It’s about creating an environment for hope, healing, and fresh starts while expanding our capacity in services, parking, and facilities. It’s about more than adding space–Making Room is about opening our hearts.
Together, we can make room for God’s work and His people as we take steps to know and become like Jesus.
Let's Grow Together
- Optimize Facilities & Service Times to make room for newcomers.

Rediscover the Power of OneFund
OneFund is unified giving by all the people of Jacob’s Well.

Unified giving through OneFund impacts God’s kingdom in ways that the individual giver cannot.
