Become a Legacy Builder!

In February we launched our new monthly giving program: Legacy Builders in place of our old Extra Mile Partners program This represents a deliberate shift in focus away from the gift itself to the actual impact of your gift.

After all, I’m sure that’s why you give in the first place. Because of the impact of your gifts. And that impact is the building of a legacy through Rhema Central Coast for future generations.

It also represents a strategic shift we’re making away from a heavy dependence on big appeals twice a year to a more sustainable and reliable monthly income base.

The initial response has been very encouraging, with many new Legacy Builders coming on board, and a number of existing donors increasing their monthly pledge as they have transitioned across to the new program. Thank you to all who have responded so far!

So while we still see the need for major appeals, we aim to be less reliant on them in the future as we build the Legacy Builder program.

If you’d like to become a Legacy Builder, and be part of creating waves of impact across the Coast now and into the future, it’s easy! Just click on the button below, or call the office and we’ll help you make it happen!

A lot of people are doing it tough on the Coast. Struggling with bills, rising debts, lack of rentals, even sleeping rough. It’s a big problem!

But you can make a difference!

We’re partnering with The Father’s Table to do something easy, practical, and effective.

When you’re shopping buy some extra food, drop it into our office, and we’ll get it to The Father’s Table for them to distribute to those who need it most.

We especially need tinned meals like sausage & veg, long-life milk, 2-minute noodles, pasta packs like mac & cheese, and boxes of cereal.

Please no glass or perishable items!

And cans with ring pulls are preferred. On the street you don’t always have a can opener!

What people are saying about Rhema CC

I’m from Sydney but visit the Central Coast fairly often and your radio station is one of the things I really enjoy when I’m up here.

Thank you for being such an encouragement.

So often a song or message is broadcast that speaks so much to me and feels so full of the Word and heart of God.

I have been very happy with the response from your advertising. I have met many lovely new people who mentioned hearing the ads on Rhema & many existing customers who commented as well.

Thankyou for your blessing.

Rhema is my everyday church.

I go to work and put on my radio to 94.9FM and the renewing of my mind is turned on.

There is always a good reading of the Word to tune me in and a refreshing worship to sparkle my soul and connect my spirit to the Spirit that shines on us.

I love being a partner with the ones who are doing the good work for the Lord.

Thanks Rhema!

I am writing to tell you how wonderful Rhema Central Coast is to our family. Our whole family love listening to Rhema, both the music and the teaching programs.

My husband recently became a Christian and he finds the teaching programs particularly helpful and informative. I find the music soothing and uplifting. The teaching programs are always very insightful and I learn something new each and every day.

Thank you for the privilege to have Christian radio available to offer hope to a lost world.

As a parent and family man, I have found the Christian teaching programs, especially those focusing on family and relational issues, to be invaluable resources that have helped to guide me through the early and curly years of marriage and family, and also in raising great children, while remaining somewhat sane through the process.

A great big thank you for the coverage you gave to our movie day.  It was a huge success with 145 happy guests and I know a number of those heard about it from your program.

We were blessed with a beautiful spring day which was perfect for our outdoor afternoon tea.  Everyone enjoyed the movie, it was ‘light’ with lots of laughs.  Funds raised amounted to $1334!!   We are extremely happy with the result.

We really appreciate your ongoing support with all our activities.

We have always found Rhema FM Central Coast a great radio station to listen to in building our faith as followers of Jesus.

We have also advertised our business Awesome Driving school on Rhema FM Central Coast and have found the quality of the production for the advertisement excellent.

Mick and his team got it set up quickly and listened to what we needed and the price for advertising is also fantastic and also knowing that the money is going to support a fantastic radio station.
