Ways to Give

Giving reflects a heart that desires to prioritize God and His kingdom above all else.

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)

General Budget

The General Budget of our church provides the necessary resources that support our ministries, facilities, and staff.

Building / Debt Reduction Funds

As a growing church we enter specific times of raising finances to improve and/or build new space. In 2015 we completed a $5 million dollar expansion project. We are currently reducing our debt by about $750,000 per year. We anticipate freedom from our debt in 2026.

Missions

We generously support missions locally, nationally, and internationally. All of our mission partners are gospel-centered, disciple-making ministries.

Care Funds

Within our church family and the community there are people who need emergency financial help. We help as money is available to those who present the greatest needs.

If you are more than 70 ½ years of age, it may be possible for the direct payment to exceed the RMD amount, but not more than $100,000 per year.
