Value of Giving

We believe giving is an act of worship. It is not something done out of guilt or pressure, but as a joyful response to God’s generosity and his leading in your life. Just like an orchard bears fruit through steady care and deep roots, a church thrives when its people invest in what God is growing. Your giving helps us nurture spiritual growth, care for one another, and reach out to our local community and beyond. Every gift matters, every dollar fuels ministry, and every act of generosity is a way of saying, “God, I trust You to do something through me.”

GIVE

Maximize Your Giving

Did you know that when you give online every transaction has a processing fee associated with it? If you choose a method with a smaller processing fee, you make the most of your giving. We pay $15-20K in online giving portal processing fees each year, so if you can, we encourage you to give cash, check, or directly through your Bank Account instead of using the online portal to really maximize your giving.
