Why We Give

As Christians, we give because of the grace and generosity that God has given us.

We are not under compulsion to give; rather, we should offer cheerfully what God has placed on our hearts 2 Cor 9:7. We consider this an aspect of worship to the Lord, which is why we receive these offerings as a part of our Sunday gathering. As a practical accommodation to how a majority of people now use their money, we also make the option available to give online.

Being a people who are not under compulsion to give, we are instructed to give because of grace. This “grace giving” is described as being:

Generous – 2 Cor 8:2 Willful – 2 Cor 8:3
God-directed – 2 Cor 8:5 Shared – 2 Cor 8:6
Active – 2 Cor 8:7 Love-motivated – 2 Cor 8:8
