Why we give

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Matthew 6:21 (NIV)

Giving is worship. When you give, you put your trust in God where you can see it, in your own bank account, and your heart follows your treasure. It is how we say, with more than words, that God is the one who provides.

So give what you've decided in your heart to give, and give gladly. “God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7).

If you're visiting, please don't feel any pressure to give.

Do I have to give money?

Nope. In fact, if this is your first visit, we ask that you don't. Come be our guest.

What the Bible says about money

Five things we believe, and the reason generosity sits at the center of this church.

  1. God owns it all.

    Psalm 24:1; Psalm 50:10-12

  2. God calls us to steward what he has entrusted us with.

    Matthew 25:14-30

  3. God calls us to give him our first and best.

    Genesis 4:3–5; Proverbs 3:8-9

  4. God modeled generosity for us by giving his one and only son, Jesus, to die in our place.

    John 3:16; 2 Corinthians 8:9

  5. God calls us to test him in generosity and that he will provide exactly what we need.

    Malachi 3:10–11; 2 Corinthians 9:11
