The Importance of Giving
We Are Called to Give!
Giving is woven throughout Scripture as an expression of trust, gratitude, and obedience. The Bible teaches that generosity reflects the heart of God Himself — a God who gives freely, abundantly, and without hesitation. When we give, we acknowledge that everything we have comes from Him, and we choose to participate in His work with open hands.
Jesus reminds us of this promise in Luke 6:38: “Give, and it will come back to you…” This isn’t about receiving material rewards; it’s about the spiritual truth that generosity creates room for God to pour His grace, His provision, and His blessings into our lives. Giving shapes our character, strengthens our faith, and allows us to be part of something bigger than ourselves.
Through giving, we support ministry, uplift others, and reflect Christ’s love in practical ways. It is one of the ways we live out our faith — not out of obligation, but out of joy, gratitude, and a desire to honour God.
Your faithful tithes, offerings, and donations make a meaningful impact! They sustain our ministry, support community outreach, and help share God’s love with those in need. Every gift, big or small, spreads the gospel and blesses others. Thank you for being a faithful steward of God’s blessings.

Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
