Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce. – Proverbs 3:9
The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. – 2 Corinthians 9:6-7
…so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. – Matthew 6:4
Giving is an Act of Worship
We want to contribute cheerfully, generously and regularly. Gifts will support ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the gospel through all nations.
May our giving not end with the money, but may we also volunteer our talents and time, as we use the gifts God has given each of us for the common good.
