We give because God gave first. We believe that God can do more through our offerings than we could ever do on our own. Jesus said it is more blessed to give than receive and we believe that when we give we offer our hearts and our resources to the Lord.

It has long been the tradition in the church to give 10% of our income back to the church. This is not a hard and fast rule, but a principle that can serve as a starting point. Most often, the New Testament speaks of giving joyfully and generously. These principles guide our generosity in every area of life, including our finances.
