GIVING
Why does God need my money?
Let’s keep this simple.
If the only thing you’ve seen about church and money is hype, scandals, or people promising blessings for “sowing a seed,” we
get it. That stuff deserves side-eye.
We don’t do that here.
We don’t believe giving makes you rich.
We don’t believe leaders should get rich off you.
We don’t believe God needs your cash.
We believe giving shapes your heart.
​
Tithe. Offering. The Rest.
Tithe
A regular, first portion (traditionally 10%) given to support the local church.
Offering
Extra generosity beyond that — for specific needs, missions, or people in crisis.
The Rest
Still God’s. Managed with wisdom, self-control, and gratitude.

The Real Issue: Money Has Gravity
Jesus said:
“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” — Matthew 6:21
Translation:
Your heart follows your money. If all your money goes toward comfort, upgrades, and flexing — your heart will too.
​
If some of your money goes toward God’s work — your heart shifts that direction. Whatever and where ever you invest your money that source influences how you navigate life and how you move.
​
Giving isn’t about funding God.
It’s about forming you.
​
Why This Matters
Giving is not a transaction.
It’s training.
Every time you give, you’re saying:
“My security isn’t my money.”
And over time, that changes you.
​
TITHING
Tithing is not a fee you pay to God—it is a declaration of trust.
To give the first portion of your income is to say, “You are my provider, not my paycheck.”
Throughout Scripture, God’s people gave the firstfruits as an act of worship (Proverbs 3:9), a way of putting Him first in what feels most secure. The tithe—traditionally ten percent—has been a historic starting point for that trust.
​
When God speaks in Malachi 3:10 and says, “Test me in this,” it is not an invitation to strike a deal with Him. It is a call to step out in faith. The promise is not a prosperity formula, but the assurance that God sees, provides, and remains faithful to those who put Him first.
Tithing does not purchase blessing—it reorders the heart. And over time, that reordered heart learns that the Father truly is enough.
