WHY DO WE GIVE?

We believe the top competitor for our devotion to Jesus is money (Matthew 6:24). Giving allows us to demonstrate that He is more important to us than material things. 

When we live open handed, trusting God with our money, we know that He will bless our finances. (Proverbs 3:9-10 and Malachi 3:10-12). 

We think Christians should be the most generous people (2 Corinthians 9:6) on earth to support worthy causes, and there is no organization with more potential to change the world than the local church (Ephesians 3:10)!


WHAT IS TITHING?

A tithe- which just means "tenth"- is defined as the first 10% of a person's income that is to be given back to the local church. Tithing is a principle that is taught throughout the entire Bible. When we tithe, we are expressing worship in a tangible way by putting God first in our lives.

Bringing our tithes is an opportunity for us to give God our thanks, show God we trust Him, and fight against greed in our hearts, while becoming a part of the most important work in life that is spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ!
