GIVING

Each person should do as he has decided in his heart—not reluctantly or out of compulsion, since God loves a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:7

Thank you for your gift!

What is biblical giving?

As believers, we are encouraged to follow scripture by giving consistently, joyfully, and generously, making God our first priority. Giving is a personal act of worship between each person and the Lord. We are not heavy handed here. Offerings are used to support missions, ministry programs, staff, and facility needs, following the example of the early church. Our leaders prayerfully steward these resources and maintain transparency through an annual budget. We trust that God multiplies faithful giving to advance His kingdom.

God has richly blessed our church with continued growth, and we are excited to see what God will do next through Harvest.

Where does the church's offering money go?
The first 10% of all offerings is sent directly to support missions. The remaining funds are used to support the church's ministries, outreach efforts, staff, facilities, and day-to-day operations. (Malachi 3:10; Philippians 4:15-18; 1 Timothy 5:17-18)

How are decisions made about spending church funds?
Church leaders spend significant time in prayer and discussion, seeking God's wisdom on how to faithfully steward the resources He has entrusted to the church. Budget planning is a careful process that takes months of consideration. (James 1:5; Proverbs 3:5-6; 1 Corinthians 4:2)
How does the church maintain financial transparency?

What is the church's view of faithful giving?
The church believes that when God's people give humbly, joyfully, and in faith, He can multiply those gifts for the growth of His kingdom, much like Jesus multiplied the loaves and fishes to meet the needs of many. (2 Corinthians 9:10-11; Luke 9:12-17; Ephesians 3:20)
