Three Ways to Give
We believe that giving is an act of worship. Giving of our resources acknowledges God as the owner of all things (1 Chronicles 29:11), including the resources He has entrusted into our responsibility.

IT KEEPS FIRST THINGS FIRST
The Bible says giving is to be a “first” and not a last or leftover matter in our lives. Read Proverbs 3:9-10. It is easy to let our intentions be compromised by the pressure of expenses and billing cycles.
IT’S CONSISTENT
