Generosity

Giving

It is a great honor and privilege to support the work of God on earth. Here’s how we think about giving — and how you can give.

Our Financial Principles

We believe God’s work done in God’s way will not lack God’s supply.
We pray for the financial needs of our church and believe every member should do the same.
We will not ask for funds from the church body unless a special benevolence need exists and we are unable to meet it.
Our church does not take an offering. There is a place to give privately at the back of the church, or gifts can be made online. Giving is between the giver and God, and all gifts remain confidential.
We do publicly thank God for His provision during each service. Such thanksgiving is an important part of public worship.
Our church remains debt-free, and we purpose to remain that way.

When Should You Give?

1 Give as a born-again child of God. It is a great honor and privilege to support the work of God — a privilege given to His children (3 John 7).
2 Give according to your convictions. Whether or not you tithe, give as the Spirit of God directs — not to earn more of God’s love. He already loves you with all of His love.
3 Give with a grateful spirit and a cheerful heart. God loves a cheerful giver.
4 First take care of the needs of your family (1 Timothy 5:8).
5 Pay your bills on time and eliminate debt. The borrower is servant to the lender (Proverbs 22:7).
6 Pay the taxes that are due (Matthew 22:21; Romans 13:8).
7 Give with a clear conscience — first be reconciled with others (Matthew 5:23–24).
8 Give freely and cheerfully, never under pressure from what others may think (2 Corinthians 9:7).

“May the Lord bless you and guide you in your personal life — and in your giving. And may all your gifts truly be from a grateful heart for the grace that Christ’s sacrifice has provided you.”
