Giving Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT GIVING? WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

We believe that giving is an essential part of Christian living, and that it represents our heart’s desire to pour into the kingdom-building work of the local church. Without the faithful generosity of our church family, we would not be able to do the impactful ministry that we do each and every day. Beyond weekend services, we assist families with financial needs and organize local and foreign missions efforts, making a tangible difference in the lives of those in our communities. All of this is possible through the will of God and your faithful giving.
