Our mission
tithing
Tithing is returning the first 10% of our income to God through the local church. It recognizes that everything belongs to Him and declares our trust in His provision. Tithing aligns our heart with God's priorities and sustains His work through the Church.
Genesis 14:18-20; Leviticus 27:30; Malachi 3:10; Matthew 23:23; Hebrews 7:4-10
offering
Offerings are gifts freely given beyond the tithe. They are expressions of gratitude and faith that advance the Kingdom and meet special needs. We give cheerfully, knowing that God multiplies what we release into His hands.
Psalm 96:8; Luke 6:38; 2 Corinthians 8:7-9; 2 Corinthians 9:6-8
outreach
Outreach is comprised of acts of love that reflects God's compassion and justice. When we care for those in need, we serve Christ Himself and reveal His mercy to the world. Faith is made visible through generosity.
Deuteronomy 15:7-11; Ruth 2:15, Proverbs 19:17; Matthew 25:35-40; James 2:15-17
Giving
“‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.’” Malachi 3:10
our budget strategy
Operating
80% of all general giving that comes in we budget towards operating the day to day of church.
50% towards personnel,
35% goes towards building and operations which includes rental costs for campuses,
and 15% towards our ministries’ departments
Margin
Our 10% margin provides an additional buffer and gives us greater flexibility when unplanned expenses arise or we would like to give towards disaster relief or other pastoral care needs.
Vision
Our 5% vision allows us to have opportunity to invest into the forward expansion of our vision and launching new initiatives like Renée, Microenterprise, and other campuses.
Savings
Our 5% savings allows us to have a safety net for emergencies or times of hardship like weathering the pandemic.
