Each of you should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7 NIV

WHY WE GIVE

As Christians, we recognize everything we have comes from God. Through our tithes and offerings, we demonstrate tangibly our love for God and our neighbors. We encourage all of those who are part of our Church family to give—not out of obligation, but out of a spirit of worship. Your gifts allow God’s work to be done in our midst, in our community, and in the world around us. Giving makes possible: worship, programs for children and youth, Bible studies, pastoral care and support, mission gifts to local, national and global needs, and building and operational needs. We can’t do these things without you.

It is more blessed to give than receive. Act 20:35 NIV
