We are a tithing church
We start by being obedient and giving God what He asks for first
Malachi 3:10, OT Law, NT Sermon on the Mount: 10% first
“The tithe keeps the church alive!” – the tithes brought into the church go first to cover expenses that allow us to continue operating (mortgages, salaries, utilities, materials, etc) so that we can do what we do
AND the tithe is an act of obedience that shows God we can be “faithful in the little” freeing Him to give us more, not so that we can have more, but so that we can give more, because…”The tithe keeps the church alive!”
We are Kingdom Builders
We give above and beyond the tithe to build God’s Kingdom
We build the Kingdom through Missions: people, organizations and initiatives that take the Gospel to places it needs to be
We build the Kingdom through Ministry: events, organizations and initiatives that offer help for those in need
We give to Kingdom Builders by planning well to give our best gifts, AND by expecting God to give us even more than we planned, so we can sow it into Kingdom initiatives
“We are BLESSED to be a BLESSING!”
