WHY GIVE?

Generosity is at the heart of who we are

Everything we have is a gift from God, and giving is one of the ways we say thank you. Your generosity helps good things grow — it supports our church family, cares for people in need, and shares the hope of Jesus with our community. We're so grateful for every gift.

Money (or 'mammon') is one of the most common competitors against God for people's attention, faith and hope. It is an easy thing to rely on money to make us feel safe, secure and like everything is in our control. Money can easily become a substitute for God in our lives.

This is why tithing (or offering) is one of the most beautiful, powerful and underappreciated spiritual disciplines we can follow. It is a choice we make weekly, fortnightly or monthly to surrender part of what we earn back to God, for his use and to contribute to his ongoing work. It is a practical act of worship and trust, declaring that our security, hope and trust isn't in money, but in our God.
