What Is the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering

Lottie Moon was sent as a Southern Baptist missionary to China from 1873 to 1912. She saw firsthand the world’s greatest problem — LOSTNESS. Meeting so many people who had never heard the gospel compelled her to write letters to American churches describing the need for a greater missionary presence. She pleaded for increased prayer and financial support to send and sustain more missionaries. This challenge became known as the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering®. 


Our church along with other Southern Baptist churches places an emphasis on giving to support the work of our International Mission Board Missionaries during the months of November and December. This special offering is above the regular tithes and offerings of church members. Our goal this year is $55,000. 100% of this offering goes to support those serving on the mission field.

Taking the Good News to Every Corner of the Earth

The IMB prioritizes getting missionaries to the people and places of the world who have never heard the gospel. As one of the leading global missions organizations in the world, the IMB strategically sends frontline workers to the edges of lostness.
