Your Giving Changes Lives and Helps Us Continue in Ministry!

"Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!"

Malachi 3:10 (NLT)

Giving is an act of worship and an expression of gratitude to God. Jesus taught that our finances reflect what we truly value (Matthew 6:24). When we give, we:

 

• Put God first in our lives.

• Celebrate Jesus’ work in us.

• Reflect His love and generosity to the world.

• Help those in need and advance the Gospel (Matthew 28:19-20).

 

The Bible calls us to weekly percentage giving (tithing) as a spiritual discipline. Jesus also teaches that generosity yields both spiritual and earthly blessings (Mark 10:29-30). Your giving fuels the work of the local church, enabling us to serve our community, spread the Gospel, and make disciples of all nations.

Financial FAQs

  • WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT GIVING?
    Giving the first of our income is an act of worship that honors God (Proverbs 3:9). Being rich in good works, generous, and ready to share is how we store up treasure for the future (1 Timothy 6:17-19). Sharing and sacrificial giving is pleasing to God (Hebrews 13:16). Taking up a weekly collection to support ministry has always been part of church worship gatherings (1 Corinthians 16:1-2). Our hearts and our finances are closely related. Giving towards God’s kingdom draws our hearts toward God’s kingdom (Matthew 6:19-21). We shouldn’t give under compulsion. God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:6-7). It is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35).
  • HOW DO I SET UP OR CANCEL MY ONLINE GIVING?
    You can schedule new contributions at any time and can modify or cancel those contributions at any time prior to the date they are scheduled. Once the contribution has been processed, however, it cannot be cancelled. If you have any problems or questions related to this, please contact us at amber@discovergrace.net
