Giving
Giving is Worship.
When we give, we say God comes first. It isn’t a transaction. It’s gratitude, and it fuels everything we do together.
Our first pillar: Worship
Giving is at the heart of God.
We’re never more like Jesus than when we give. Worship happens when we give God our time, our talents, and our treasure. It puts God first in every area of life.
Time
Prayer, praise, and spending time in God’s presence.
Talents
Serving others with the gifts God placed inside of you.
Treasure
Generosity as an act of obedience and stewardship.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
Why we give
We give to God, through the church.
We practice the tithe as the biblical standard for giving. Every gift is trusted to God and stewarded with honesty and integrity.
“Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing.”
Proverbs 3:9–10
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house. Test me in this.”
Malachi 3:10
The tithe
The first 10% of our income, given to the local church. It’s the practical way we say God is first.
Offerings
Giving over and above the tithe. Generosity is how we take hold of the life that is truly life.
The gift of giving
A Spirit-given desire to give far beyond the tithe to further God’s work.
