Giving
Each of us is called to worship God by giving of our time, talents and resources. Sharing those resources enables the church to reach the hopeless, the hurting and those who need Christ. We pledge to be good stewards of your gifts, taking great care in how we manage and track the resources entrusted to us.
“But just as you excel in everything –- in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us – see that you also excel in this grace of giving” 2 Corinthians 8:7 (NIV)

About Tithing
Why tithe?
When God asks us for something, we should be willing to give it freely and gladly. When we act out of belief that God is true to His Word, our faith is evident. James says “… be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” -James 1:22 Those who profess faith but don’t act in faith are deceived. It is faithful behavior that evidences the Spirit within us. It is faithful behavior that allows God to bless us.
When we willingly surrender a tenth of our income, especially when we believe we can’t afford to, we’re telling God, “I believe You will take care of me and provide for me.” God wants for us to be able to look beyond our circumstances and rely on Him for our needs. “Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?” -Luke 12:24
We want God to find us self-disciplined because we are of greater use to Him. A person who can self-manage effectively can be trusted with much responsibility. “Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given.” -Luke 12:48 NLT
Your gifts help to take care of those who serve you and the facility that we all call our church home.
People often make the mistake of thinking that their contribution won't make a difference because the church is large. Just as every individual ministry is important, every amount of money given is important. Many times the fact that people give just a little bit more helps us to begin a new ministry that makes a tremendous impact on the church. Also, when you give out of a faithful heart, God takes your gift and stretches it beyond what you would add up with just numbers. Your giving is far more important than you will ever imagine!
