why give money to the church? because it’s “the right thing to do”? a good tax write-off? God needs it? the church expects it?

before we tell you what to write on your check or where to drop it off, it’s far more important that you know why we encourage you to give to God by giving to the church. to put it simply, it’s what God says to do. he tells us in the Bible that He wants us to give regularly, generously, and sacrificially out of all He gives us—all as part of our worship of Him.

not because God needs what we have. but because we need to give it. what we do with what we have directs our heart. giving to God reminds us that He has given us everything we have, and can be counted on to meet every need we will ever have. giving something back to Him is an expression of gratitude and worship.

:: giving beyond ::
almost all of us have received more than we truly need or could ever use. beyond regularly giving God the first portion of all He gives us, He asks us to stretch ourselves by sacrificing to share with others who have needs.
