When you sign up to give online, you are deciding in advance to faithfully give. The Bible teaches that we are to honor God with the “first fruits” of our labor (Proverbs 3:9). By setting up a recurring contribution that is scheduled to come out of your account on the day you specify, you can ensure that your first fruits are faithfully given back to God (1 Corinthians 16:1-2).
You won’t have to remember whether you gave this month or send in an offering by mail when you’re on a trip.
We utilize an encrypted secure website for our giving portal to ensure protection of your sensitive personal information and giving history.
You have the ability to quickly see your online giving history directly through our giving portal instead of having to contact our finance department for a personalized report.
The Bible teaches that everything we have comes from God and belongs to Him. Psalm 24:1 says, “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” God is our provider. Therefore, we are mere stewards of what God has given to us. Tithing is giving back to God what is already His. Matthew 6:21 says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
The word “tithe” means one tenth. So, when you tithe, you give one tenth or 10% of your earnings. Tithing (10%) is the starting point of giving. Offerings are gifts given above the tithe. God has blessed some people financially who are able to give substantially more than 10% and still live comfortably.
God’s plan is the local church. We work together as a church to reach those who need the saving message of the gospel. The money you give supports all we do, and without your financial support, the local church ministries could not be as effective. Malachi 3:10 says, “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.” By partnering together, God’s work is done more effectively.
Gifts are used to fund God’s work through ministries within our church, local missions partnerships, overseas missionaries, church plants throughout the United States, and cooperative ministries within the Southern Baptist Convention.
Practically speaking, everyone can start a pattern of regular giving. Start now with regular systematic giving (e.g. weekly, bi-weekly or monthly). As the Lord blesses, you increase your giving until you reach the tithe and beyond. However, as a reminder, the Lord requires us to be faithful regardless of how much He has entrusted to us. Luke 16:10 says “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.” It is when we are having financial struggles that we can’t afford not to tithe. God wants us to trust Him in everything, including our finances.
