Why Give

Your Generous Giving  enables us to reach people with the life-giving message of Jesus Christ. It is through your faithful support that more and more people will be able to experience a life-changing relationship with Jesus.  We are so grateful for your donation and hope the convenience and simplicity of online giving will be helpful to you.

We are prepared to receive your seed which can be divided into two categories: tithes and offerings. 

We believe in the biblical mandate for giving and believe that when we give we are  worshiping the Lord with our tithe, which is ten percent of our income contributed to the church on a regular basis. 

However, there are times that we feel called to give over and above our tithe, we do so as an offering.

 

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:7

Confession of Faith over your Giving

Heavenly Father, we profess this day unto You, that we have Come into the inheritance which You swore to give us. We are in the land which You have provided for us in Jesus Christ, the Kingdom of Almighty God. We were sinners serving Satan; he was our god. But we called upon the Name of Jesus, and you heard our cry and delivered us from the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of your dear Son.

Jesus, as our Lord and High Priest, we bring the first fruits of our income to you, that you may worship the Lord our God with them. Father, we rejoice in all the good which You have given to us and our household(s). We have heard Your voice and have done according to all that You have commanded us.

Now Father, as You look down from your holy habitation from heaven, to bless us as you said in Your Word.

This is our confession of faith.
