GIVE IN FAITH, BUILD THE KINGDOM
“Each gift is a seed sown into God’s Kingdom.” — 2 Corinthians 9:6
CHANGING LIVES THROUGH YOUR GENERosity
“God loves a cheerful giver.” —
2 Corinthians 9:7

GIVE TODAY, IMPACT FOREVER.
1 Timothy 6:18–19 (NIV) — “Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.”
Giving is an Act of Worship, Not Just Support
Financial contributions are more than paying bills or funding programs—they are an expression of worship and covenant loyalty to God. When we give, we acknowledge that He is the true source of everything we have (Deuteronomy 8:18). Giving says to God: “You are my Provider, not my paycheck.”
The Church’s Mission is Funded by God’s People
Biblically, God’s design for advancing His kingdom is through the generosity of His covenant people. Every outreach, discipleship program, missions effort, and ministry event is made possible because believers sow into God’s work (2 Corinthians 9:6–8). If we believe the mission is important, then giving is part of participating in that mission.
Giving Plants Seeds for a Kingdom Harvest
Your contribution is not a one-time transaction—it’s a seed that produces ongoing fruit. When you sow into the ministry of the church, you’re partnering with God to see lives transformed, the gospel preached, and needs met in the community. As Paul says, the one who sows bountifully will reap bountifully (2 Corinthians 9:6).
Giving Protects Us from the Tyranny of Money
Jesus warned that we cannot serve both God and money (Matthew 6:24). Regular, intentional giving breaks money’s grip on our hearts and reminds us that we are stewards, not owners. It keeps us from drifting into a life ruled by financial fear or greed.
Giving Opens the Door for God’s Provision
God invites His people to “test” Him in the area of generosity (Malachi 3:10). This isn’t about buying blessings—it’s about trusting His promise that when we put Him first, He will provide for us abundantly so we can continue to bless others.
