Giving

Generosity is one of the spiritual practices of the Christian faith. Generosity helps us remember that all that we have is a gift from God. We give back, because it helps strengthen our connection to God, and we invest in the church because we believe in its mission and purpose.   

We believe that we all have different abilities to give, at different stages of life. Some people have more time to give, some people have specific talents to share, and we all have different financial circumstances. We strongly encourage everyone to consider recurring giving, at an amount that is right for you, so that the church can rely on a steady source of income throughout the year.

Because of the strong giving of our church members and friends, we are able to make all of our programs available to all, and we are able to support those in need.

Trying to decide what amount to give?  One of our pastors would be happy to speak with you.  You can find information about giving options below.
