The reason we emphasize giving as a church is because, biblically, giving is an act of WORSHIP.
Giving is how we express God's ownership and it's also how we express thanks to Him
for providing for us. As an act of worship, we believe that giving should be done with a
willing and cheerful heart (2 Corinthians 9:7).
As a church, we believe that when we give, we're giving to the Body of Christ to which
we belong. We give as covenant members of the church to engage in the
vision that He has called us to and to participate financially with the various
ministries of the church that each of us should be serving within.
