Giving Overview

We are never more like God then when we give. “For God so loved the world that He gave...” (John 3:16). Truth is, we can’t give Him anything that wasn’t His to begin with. James tells us that “Every good and perfect gift comes from above,” so all our resources originally belonged to Him anyway. God has simply delegated His stuff to us, so we can use it for His glory.

Giving Options

Sunday Giving: We have offering boxes located around our worship area at our Sunday services, so you can give at any time on Sunday morning. Offering envelopes are located in the boxes. You can use the envelopes if you would like us to keep a record for you for tax purposes.

Direct Debit Giving: There are direct debit forms available on the information table on Sundays. You can fill out the form and drop it into an offering box, and we will take care of the giving and records for you. This is a huge help to us, as it is much easier to budget when we have an idea what God may be giving us.

Online Giving: First a warning! While we believe giving helps us to become more like Christ, we also believe debt does the opposite, leaving us as slaves to the lender instead of to God (Proverbs 22:7). Therefore, although we want to encourage giving, we want to discourage using borrowed money in order to give. God wants us to give out of what He has given us, not out of what we hope to receive in the future. So, if you can use our online giving without going into debt, by all means go ahead and click on the link below.

On the PayPal page you MUST enter your donation amount and click "update total" before proceeding (i.e. ignore email & password). Thank you for your donation.
