Your generosity makes an impact for God’s kingdom in our city, country, and around the world. Jesus Christ paid it all for us, through His death and resurrection, and we are to give, from what he has blessed us with, freely, generously, sacrificially, and cheerfully to further His name.
Giving is not something we have to do, it’s something we get to do.
WAYS TO GIVE
- Traditional Offering – Every Sunday, we collect an offering as part of our worship. You are free to place an offering directly in the plate, or you can utilize offering envelopes.
