The offering is a part of our worship services, because we believe our giving is an essential part of our worship. We believe that worship is a declaration that God is worthy of our praise, obedience, and dependance. One of the ways we show God's worth is by giving of our resources, like our money. You are welcome to join us in that act of worship when you join us, but we believe that our membership bears the primary responsibility to sustain the ministries of the church through their financial gifts. We try to let our giving be a matter between the individual and God, so no one will be checking whether or not you gave.
