As a church, we believe that we are called to respond to the generosity of the gospel by giving extravagantly to the progress of the gospel in our community and world. Biblical generosity is not about meeting budget needs. It is about a rich and trusting relationship with a living God. When we give we are actually participating in God's mission (Mal. 3:6-12; Jas. 1:27; 3 Jn. 5:8). We express our faith and love to Him by honoring Him as the source of everything we have. Scriptural giving is performed with regularity, from the first portion of all we are given, as a proportion of our income (1 Cor. 16:1-2), cheerfully, without pressure or manipulation (2 Cor. 9:7), regularly (1 Cor. 16:2), and sacrificially (2 Cor. 8:1-5).

Tithing is a good starting place in giving. The Bible teaches us about a baseline standard for giving: the tithe (a word that literally means a “tenth”). When we give the first 10% of our income through the local church, we put God first in our lives. Tithing is an act of worship that expresses our gratitude, faith, and love for others. 

God also encourages us to give offerings beyond our tithe to specific projects at our local church and to other organizations and causes that we personally believe in for the advancement of the gospel.
