We give for two main reasons. The first is to support the mission and work of the church as we seek to bring about God's kingdom here on earth and to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. The second reason is because it's a vital spiritual practice in the life of Christian discipleship. A staggering 42% of Jesus' parables are about money and possessions. Giving is a tangible and concrete way for us to declare that our trust is in God and not this world. We hope that you will make giving a regular practice in your spiritual life.
