GIVING

Generosity is a profound expression of faith, and giving to the church is a way to participate in the spiritual act of supporting the community and furthering the work of God. The Bible encourages believers to give willingly and cheerfully, as mentioned in 2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV): "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." This scripture underscores the importance of the motive behind our giving—doing it with a joyful heart and a genuine desire to contribute to the well-being of others. By offering our resources to the church, we not only fulfill a practical need but also align ourselves with the biblical principles of generosity, stewardship, and selflessness. In doing so, we actively participate in God's work, creating a ripple effect of blessings that extends beyond the walls of the church into the lives of those in need.
