Giving

God is a generous Father who gave His Son, Jesus Christ.

He is our provider and everything belongs to Him (Psalms 24). As God’s grace impacts our lives, we respond out of gratitude. We get to be generous. God wants us to trust Him and His ways by living generously toward Him.

1. TITHES

Tithing is about Lordship, not Law! Jesus commended people for their tithing. A tithe is 10% of what we receive but it belongs to God and so we BRING this portion back to Him. We believe God can do more with the 90% that remains than we ever could with the 100%. We give 10% of our income to Jesus by giving it into a local church where we are spiritually fed and led by God ordained leadership. Jesus entrusts us to invest on His behalf as He builds His church. Tithes are used to ensure the work of ministry is able to CONTINUE. Tithing is about LORDSHIP and OBEDIENCE. We encourage everyone to tithe CHEERFULLY in OBEDIENCE, in full, consistently and with a heart of gratitude. Use the reference “TITHE Your Name” as you make an EFT.

2. OFFERINGS

Jesus taught much about sowing and reaping which brings about multiplication. Offerings are about GIVING and GENEROSITY and activates a Kingdom principle of wealth production and return on investment. The one who sows will reap! Offerings are over and above the tithe and are generally used for specific projects like buildings, equipment or specific resources for new ministry, for expansion and GROWTH. We encourage everyone to live generously in all aspects of life. Use the reference “OFFERING BUILDING/RESOURCE/PROJECT…” as you make an EFT.

3. POOR

This is a specific form of offering where we give to those in need within our church family. The Bible speaks about looking after widows, orphans and the poor. We can all be of practical assistance and support to those we know need help within our small group ministry. As a local church we administrate a POOR FUND to help those in our family in times of need. Use the reference “POOR” as you make an EFT.
