What we believe about giving
Giving can stretch us out of our comfort zones, but in that stretching, we inch ourselves closer to becoming spiritual leaders after God’s own heart. Give a little, and then a little more, until you feel some discomfort. Where there is pain, there is generally some eternal gain. We appreciate your generosity and your cooperation in supporting our community mission and service opportunities.
GIVING OUR TIME
Time is our most valuable commodity. Unlike our talents, which can be cultivated by practice, or our money, which can be recouped by more work, our time can never be recovered once it is spent. When we share our time—for prayer, service, friendship—we make a basic investment of ourselves. More than anything else, the way we spend our time reveals our priorities.
GIVING OUR TALENT
Amen I say to you, whatever you did to the least of my brothers, you did it to me. – MATTHEW 25:40
This scripture was one of Mother Teresa’s favorites. Each time she picked up a poor and hungry child, she knew she was ministering to Christ. While we may not view ourselves as saints, we too are called to such heroic service here within our own community. As Mother Teresa herself said, “To be a saint is not the privilege of a few, but the duty of everyone.”
GIVING OUR TREASURE
Where your treasure is, there also lies your heart. – Matthew 25:40
Money plays a large role in our lives, and precisely because of this, it needs to be aligned with our most deeply held beliefs. While it takes money for our community to operate, our reason for giving to the Church is far greater than paying the power bill.
WHY GIVING?
GIVING HELPS OTHERS
When you give to the less fortunate, you add to their lives – and by adding to theirs, you add to yours too.
GIVING INSPIRES GIVING
People who have been on the receiving end of kindness are inspired to pay it forward and give to others even when they have hardly anything to give.
GIVING TEACHES RESPONSIBILITY
When you give, you may have to make sacrifices. If you feel the urge to donate to a desperate cause regardless of your own financial standing, you learn how to do without certain things so that you can make the donation.
GIVING PLEASES GOD
I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. – Philippians 4:18
The offering that is well-pleasing to God is the one He tells you to give.
GIVING MAKES A DIFFERENCE
No matter how much or how little you can give, you have the power to touch the life of another person and you can affect them in ways you may never completely be aware of.
Give in order to be blessed. It is, in our vision, a part of our worship to God. He wants us to understand the blessings that come to those who give with a cheerful heart.
