WHY DO WE GIVE?

The first time we see this in the Bible is when Abram gives a tenth to Melchizedek, the priest, in faith and thanksgivings for the blessing of God on his life. (Gen 14:20)

Giving is rooted in Scripture, from Abram's tithe to Melchizedek (Gen 14:20), to Malachi's promise that generosity releases God's blessing (Mal 3:10-12), to Jesus affirming the tithe (Mt 23:23) and Paul's call to extravagant giving (2 Cor 9:6-15).

We start with 10% of income into the church's general fund, which resources everything the Holy Spirit calls us to: Sunday services, children/youth ministry, worship and media teams (1 Chr 25:1), pastoral and support staff (1 Tim 5:18), and compassion ministries serving those in need.

From time to time we also take special offerings for causes, buildings, or missions.We believe God wants to bless His people in every area of life — including finances — so they can be generous on every occasion, resulting in thanksgiving to God (2 Cor 9:11).

Giving direct to the church bank accounts is a wise way to give. It means that the church doesn’t pay fees.
