GIVING RESOURCES
We would love to be a resource to you and your financial journey. Check out this series of videos we are calling "Kitchen Table Conversations," as well as our sermon series on generosity. Our hope is that our conversations around finances would be an encouragement to you! If you have any questions, send us a message!
HOW MUCH SHOULD I GIVE?
Give proportionally. A starting point is what the Bible calls a "tithe" or 10% of your income. (Deuteronomy 14:22, Malachi 3:8-10)
Give generously. God asks us and blesses those who prepare to give generously when opportunities become available. (2 Corinthians 9:5-8)
Give from your heart. God wants us to give an amount that reflects our love for Him. (2 Corinthians 9:7)
Give sacrificially. From time to time we are called upon to give up some things in order to give for special needs like building projects, missions, etc. This amount is individual and determined by prayer and evaluation of God's expectations for you specifically. (2 Corinthians 8:3)
WHAT DOES MY GIVING GO TO?
General Budget - The General Budget of our church provides the necessary resources that support our ministries, facilities, and staff.
Building Funds - As a growing church we enter into specific times of raising finances to improve and/or build new space. We recently completed a $3 million dollar project. We still receive designated gifts to our building fund in order to prepare for future projects.
Missions - We generously support missions locally, nationally, and internationally. We give 12.9% of our budget to both Southern Baptist and other specific missions. We also raise additional money throughout the year for special mission projects and trips that God leads us to participate in each year.
Benevolence - Within our church family and the community there are people who need emergency financial help. We receive special designated gifts each week from people which provides funds for this ministry. We help as money is available to those who present the greatest needs.
