Giving to God from Glad and Grateful Hearts
We believe that giving back to God is an act of worship. Because God has given us everything, we gladly offer back to Him a portion of what He has given us out of gratitude to Him. We entrust our offerings back to God for Him to use and multiply those resources for His Kingdom purposes in the world.

"Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
2 Corithians 9:6-7
GIVE ONLINE
It is easy to forget our checkbook or cash at home when we go to church. We can also be less intentional than we would like to be about how much the Lord is calling us to give when we are put "on the spot." So, online giving is a wonderful option for recurring gifts that we have prayerfully set apart for the Lord.
GIVE IN PERSON
We collect an offering every Sunday in our service as an act of worship. The ushers will pass the plates around the sanctuary as we reflect on all that God has given us and we pray that the Lord uses what we offer to fulfill his purposes in our church, community, and the world.
Generosity Prayer
Consider offering this prayer based on 1 Timothy 6 as you prepare your heart to give to the Lord.
Dear God, we believe Your Word that godliness with contentment is great gain. We bring nothing into this world, and we take nothing out of it. We who call Jesus Lord devote ourselves to resisting greed, which plunges the human heart into ruin, and pierces it with many griefs. Grant us determination to practice generosity with free hearts, fixing our hope on You and not the uncertainty of wealth. We desire to be rich in good deeds and willing to share all that we have, laying up for ourselves treasure that will not decay but will shine in the age to come. Give us glad, grateful, and generous hearts as we offer back to You what is truly Yours. In Jesus' name, Amen.
