We believe giving to the local church is an essential part in the life and spiritual maturity of every believer. Fortunately, God has a lot to say about this in the Bible. We see examples of other Christians giving of their finances to the church (Acts 4:32-35; 1 Cor. 16:1-2). We’re taught that giving is part of our worship (2 Cor. 8:3-5). God says He loves a cheerful giver (2 Cor. 9:6-7). And, most importantly, Jesus said your giving is a reflection of your heart and the things you value (Mt. 6:19-21).
