Why We Give

We believe that it’s more of a blessing to give than to receive, that’s why we practice giving 10% of our income (our “tithes”), as well as giving above and beyond that as God moves upon us to do so (our “offerings”). Through these gifts, we support the ministry and mission of the church, reaching our neighborhood, our city, and our world. When there is a 5th Sunday of the month, we give a special offering for "Benevolence," which is used specifically toward urgent needs of individuals in the community (to assist with things like gas money, utility bills, rent shortages, medical needs, diapers, etc.).

"The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work." 2 Corinthians 9:6-8
