Money Management and Giving
When it comes to managing your giving and your finances we encourage the following.
Give Regularly
Stay faithful and consistent with an automatic recurring schedule. Create an account and start online giving or regularly give at our weekend services. It is one of the best ways to exercise your faith.
Percentage Give
The Bible refers to 10% (tithe) as target for giving. If you’ve never given before, start low and work your way up to the tithe. If you’re already tithing, consider giving more and help our impact even more.
Manage Money God’s Way
Long term financial health honors God and reduces stress. If you need help getting your finances under control consider attending a Financial Peace University class.

Giving Through Service
In addition to financial giving, we believe each person is created with unique gifts and talents equipped to give back to the church. This comes in the way of volunteering in our church and serving our larger community locally, nationally and internationally through missions. Sharing your gifts and talents is an important part of your journey in following God.
