Why Give?

God gives us the opportunity to partner with Him to bring the message of Christ’s hope and love to a fallen world when we give generously.

Why Give Online?

PRIORITIZE GIVING IN YOUR BUDGET

The Bible indicates giving is to be a “first” and not a last or left-over matter in my life. Read Proverbs 3:9-10. It is easy to let our standards and intentions be compromised by the press of expenses and billing cycles. Online, your giving is done automatically.

INCREASE YOUR FAITHFULNESS

Have you ever forgotten your gift, left it at home, or pledged to double it in the future? Have you had times where you have fallen behind because of travel and other schedule interruptions? Online giving provides a way to strengthen your faithfulness.

HELP YOUR CHURCH

Through online giving, you expedite your gift, simplify our accounting, and strengthen our base of regular support.

ENCOURAGE FAITHFULNESS IN THE LOVES OF FELLOW BELIEVERS

As you plan and prioritize your giving, you will lead the way for others to grow and mature in their spiritual stewardship. Being a forerunner in this new area of planned giving, you can provide personal testimony and example for others to follow.
