WHY GIVING MATTERS

Sharing with others what God has so freely given us provides satisfaction and joy that far exceeds any other investment we can ever make. The opportunity to be a part of the work God is accomplishing will change your life as well as the lives of those reached by the ministry you help support.

To express your gratitude to God and join in what He is doing. Giving opens the door to a life of purpose bigger than ourselves and is an important part of growing in a walk of faith.

The answer to that question is between you and God. A tithe, or 10%, is often considered a benchmark for Biblical giving. However, God owns everything already; we are his stewards. Learning to trust God in this area and asking His help to be generous is one of the most significant ways we can grow.

Regular giving helps us plan what ministry we can support and it helps you take steps in your faith and in your generosity.

WHAT IF I GET PAID ON THE 15TH AND 30TH, HOW DO I SET UP A RECURRING GIFT?

If you find that the selections of "weekly" and "every two weeks" don't match up with your regular pay schedule, you can use the "monthly" option and set up two regular recurring gifts: one on the 15th day of the month and one on the 31st day of the month. Be aware if a month has only 28, 29, or 30 days, your gift may not post until the 1st.
