WHY WE GIVE

We believe the bible makes it clear that generous giving is an important part of the Christian life. As God has so generously blessed us, our desire is to emulate His generosity

2 Corinthians 8:7 But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you – see that you also excel in this grace of giving.

1 Corinthians 16:1-2 Now about the collection for the Lord’s people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do. 2On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.

While the New Testament lays down no specific rules as to the amount we should give, we believe that the Old Testament principle of giving a tithe (one tenth) of our income to God is one which honours Him and always brings His blessing upon the giver. What we do know is that everything in this world has come from God and therefore it is up to each of us to decide what we give back to Him to bring His Kingdom here on earth

Malachi 3:10 – Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
