WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT GIVING
First, we believe in tithing. The tithe is 10% of any income/increase God blesses us with. We believe the tithe belongs to God and should be returned to Him. By obeying this principle, we remain in a position to receive “open-window” provision from God (Malachi 3:10).
Second, we believe in sowing financial seeds to demonstrate how grateful we are for the favor, goodness, mercy, and grace God continually expresses toward us. As a result of this principle, we also know we will receive a return (Luke 6:38).
Finally, we believe in giving to our pastor. By making sure her natural needs are met, we allow her to focus on studying the Bible and hearing from God so that she can pour into us weekly (Galatians 6:6-10).

WHAT IS OUR POSTURE FOR GIVING?
As Christians, we believe in giving cheerfully, acknowledging that everything we have is a gift from God. Our cheerful giving is an expression of gratitude and an opportunity to worship Him. "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." - 2 Corinthians 9:7
Generosity is at the core of Christian giving. We believe in giving generously, knowing that God blesses us abundantly to bless others. By giving generously, we actively participate in God's work of meeting the needs of those around us. "Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously." - 2 Corinthians 9:6
We believe in giving in expectation, trusting that God will multiply our gifts and use them for His purposes. When we give in faith, we demonstrate our trust in God's provision and His faithfulness to fulfill His promises. "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." - Luke 6:38
