Tithes and Offerings
Why Give?
Scripture reminds us of the importance of giving to those in need and to God’s work. His Word tells us that when we give out of a faithful heart it is an act of worship that honours Him. God receives our gifts and multiplies them beyond what we could ever imagine.
Financial resources are a trust from God to be responsibly stewarded. It is our desire as leaders of Christ’s church to ensure that our finances are handled in a God-honouring manner so His vision is being accomplished.
We encourage you to excel in this grace of giving for the advancement of God’s kingdom here and around the world.
“But since you excel in everything – in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you – see that you also excel in this grace of giving.“
2 Corinthians 8:7
