Give the work time and space to grow
Help Glory in the Beat move from “when we can” to consistent ministry.
Monthly support creates dedicated time for outreach, radio, content, follow‑up, partnerships, and ministry planning.
Our immediate goal is to fund a full‑time ministry role, starting with $25,000 for the first 90 days. We want to raise it by December 1.
Give monthly or once
Monthly gifts count twice: toward the first $25,000 and toward the 100 Pursuit Partners.
501(c)(3) nonprofit. Gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
At checkout, Zeffy, our free donation platform, suggests an optional tip for itself. It’s up to you: choose “Other” to set it to $0.
Be one of the 100.
Every Pursuit Partner is 1% of the way there, whatever the amount.
Here’s how 100 people keep Glory in the Beat full time:
- 20 people
- $25 a month
- 30 people
- $50 a month
- 40 people
- $100 a month
- 10 people
- $250 a month
Together, that covers full-time ministry, month after month.
What God has done so far
- community events
- 27
- people who gave their lives to Jesus at our events
- 25
- growth in radio listeners, year over yearMore people hearing the Gospel through our programming.
- 48%
- Christian hip-hop and R&B on air
- 24/7
All of that on “fit the work in when we can.” Imagine full time.
Even with limited time, we’ve seen God move, and I’m grateful for all of it. I also believe it’s time to give this work the consistent attention it needs.
Glory in the Beat uses Christian hip-hop, conversation, and community outreach to meet people where they are and point them toward Jesus. There’s more we can do if this becomes my full-time work.
To make that possible, we’re raising support for a full-time paid role for me, Geo Preston, as Glory in the Beat’s founder and president. That support would allow me to dedicate my working hours to this mission while providing for my family. Your gifts go to Glory in the Beat and help sustain the ministry’s work.
Time and space
From “when we can” to consistent ministry
Glory in the Beat is already reaching people across Akron through music, outreach, radio, prayer, events, and relationships.
Right now, the work is built around the time and space we have available. Monthly Pursuit Partners help change that.
Your support helps create:
- Dedicated time for full‑time ministry
- Consistent community outreach and follow‑up
- Regular radio and original content
- Stronger church and community partnerships
- Better preparation for events and outreach
The goal is simple: give this work the time and space it needs to grow.
Monthly support is what we need most. Would you prayerfully consider becoming a Pursuit Partner at whatever amount you’re able to give? A dependable base of monthly supporters would help us plan ahead and keep showing up. If a monthly gift isn’t right for you, a one-time gift helps too.
Become a Pursuit PartnerAnd if you can’t give financially right now, I’m still grateful you’re here. Please pray for us and share the mission with someone who might want to be part of it. We’ve seen what God can do with the time we’ve had. I’m ready to see what He does when we can give this work our full attention.

Questions
What’s a Pursuit Partner?
Someone who gives monthly, at $25, $50, $100, or whatever amount makes sense for you. Monthly gifts give us dependable support we can actually plan around, and they’re our greatest need. 100 Pursuit Partners giving an average of about $85 a month keep Glory in the Beat full time.
Why $25,000?
It funds the first 90 days of me serving Glory in the Beat full time: a board-approved salary for those 90 days, the payroll taxes that come with it, and the normal operating expenses of the ministry.
Do monthly gifts count toward the $25,000?
Yes. Every monthly commitment moves us toward that first $25,000 and makes you one of the 100 Pursuit Partners.
What happens after the first 90 days?
Pursuit Partners are how this work continues. These 90 days also give us the chance to keep building the consistent monthly support needed to sustain this work. If you want to be part of that, choose monthly when you give.
What if we don’t reach $25,000 by December 1?
We start with the days that are funded and keep going. Every gift still goes to Glory in the Beat’s work.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes. Glory in the Beat is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so your gift is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Zeffy emails you a tax receipt as soon as you give.
Where does my gift go?
Right now, to the first 90 days of full-time ministry, so outreach, follow-up, radio, events and partnerships get consistent attention. After that, monthly support from Pursuit Partners keeps it going.
Can I change or cancel a monthly gift?
Yes, anytime. Contact us and we’ll change or stop it for you.
What’s the tip at checkout?
Zeffy, the platform that processes our donations, doesn’t charge us fees. Instead, it suggests an optional tip for itself at checkout. That tip goes to Zeffy, not to Glory in the Beat, and it’s entirely up to you: choose “Other” to change it or set it to $0. Your gift to us is the same either way.
Are there other ways to give?
Yes. To give by check, through a donor-advised fund, or as a church or business, contact us and we’ll help. The form takes card gifts of up to $5,000; for a larger gift, contact us too.
I can’t give right now. How else can I help?
Pray for us, and share the campaign with someone who might want to be part of it.
