Unlike the other Special Offerings, which benefit specific ministries, the Easter offering is divided among several ministries of the church, including overseas and domestic missions, communications, financial ministries (including the Pension Fund which supports both my insurance and my pension), the historical society, and many others.
Here is the promotional video produced for this offering (coincidentally, Communication Ministries produces the films used to promote the offerings, among other things):
The ministries that benefit from the Easter Special Offering are:
- Division of Overseas Ministries
