Why do we give?
One of the characteristics of a Full Life in Christ is to “give sacrificially.” When we’re trusting God with our tithes and offerings we know He will bless the rest (Proverbs 3:9-10). Giving is an act of faith, affirming all we have ultimately belongs to God (and not to us) and that we’re thankful for all He provides. We think Christians should be the most generous people (2 Corinthians 9:6) on earth, and there is no place with more potential to change the world than the local church (Ephesians 3:10)!

Text to Give – If you don’t always carry cash or checks and want to make a gift during church or anytime during the week, you can do so by texting a donation amount to 84321. You’ll receive a direct link to our giving page, and follow the simple steps from there. Each week in our worship services, we’ll provide this information on the screen during the time of the offering.
Recurring Giving – If you haven’t done so, we encourage you to sign up for recurring giving. It’s the easiest, most convenient way to give faithfully back to the Lord.
