Why Give?
Giving is done for many reasons… First and foremost, it is scriptural. Leviticus 27:30 tells us: “One-tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain from the fields or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD and must be set apart to him as holy.” And 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 sums up giving nicely: “Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”
We hope you will consider giving generously to our ministries so we can be a church where all people find a place of belonging and a place to serve. Your generosity will allow us to accomplish the Kingdom Work of Christ and allow us to continue to be His hands and feet in our community and around the world.
Ways to Give

Online Giving is a system for one time or recurring contributions. Electronic giving offers convenience for individual congregation members and provides much needed donation consistency for our congregation. There are currently two options available:
- Direct Debit Giving is used to automatically transfer funds from your checking or savings account to the church’s bank account.
- Credit & Debit Card Giving lets you make offerings automatically on a predetermined schedule using a credit or debit card.
