Online Giving and Finances

About Giving Online

Just as you excel in everything else−in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness... see that you also excel in this grace of giving. (2 Corinthians 8:7 NIV)

Why does God want you to excel in the grace of giving? It's because He influences the world through His people. God gives to you so He can give through you. The Bible tells us that everything we have is a gift from God (1 Chronicles 29:14).

Below are some opportunities to get involved in a class or small group to learn how to manage your finances God's way. In addition, there are opportunities for the church to serve you in areas of coaching, advising, and estate planning.

Tithes and Offerings Report

Whether you give at church or online, ultimately, this is an act of worship. “But just as you excel in everything — in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us — see that you also excel in this grace of giving.” (2 Corinthians 8:7, NIV). When we willingly set aside the first part of our income for the local church, our hearts will be turned toward Him. (Matthew 6:21).

Tithes and Offerings

What is a tithe and how is it different from an offering? The word, "tithe" literally means tenth or 10%. A tithe is the first 10% of your income. An offering is anything you give above and beyond the 10%.

Why do we tithe? The Bible says, The purpose of tithing is to teach you always to put God first in your lives. (Deuteronomy 14:23 TLB) Tithing is a reminder that God is the supplier of everything we have. It is also God's personal invitation to an outpouring of his blessing in your life.

In Malachi 3:10, God says this: "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it." This is the only place in Scripture where God tells us to put him to the test. In other words, he's saying, "Go ahead. See if you can out-give me."

Is God wise? Do you trust him? These are two fundamental questions behind the act of giving. If God is wise, then you should listen to what he says about financial stewardship. If you trust him, then you should trust him with all aspects of your life, including your finances. So go ahead. Accept God's invitation to put him to the test. Start tithing faithfully and watch what he does in and through your life.
