It's a Privilege to Give
When we worship the Lord, we are giving something back to Him. We
give of our time, our abilities, our finances, and so much more.
Giving should be considered a privilege when we give back to the
One who saved our soul. The Bible tells us in
2 Corinthians 9:7:" Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver."
What we Expect
Visiting Guests
We consider you our honored guests, and have no expectation of your giving. We desire to be an encouragement to you and serve you as you visit with our church family. Please do NOT feel obligated to give during our offering, and you are NOT expected to help with setup or cleanup activities. If you choose to do any of these things, it will be counted a blessing to us, but it is not expected.
Church Members
We believe that every Christian, as a steward of that portion of God's wealth entrusted to him/her, is obligated to financially support his/her local church. We believe that God has established the tithe as a basis for giving, but that every Christian should also give other offerings sacrificially and cheerfully to the support of the church, the pastor and his family, the relief of those in need, and the spread of the Gospel. We believe that a Christian relinquishes all rights to direct the use of his tithe or offering once the gift has been made.
