Giving

While we welcome donations from anyone who wishes to support our ministry, it is a particular responsibility of church members to support the ministry of their own church.

Donations received help us support our staff, local outreach and a number of families serving God in international ministry.

Six principles for giving

Here are some principles from 2 Corinthians 8 and 9, explained in John Stott’s The Grace of Giving:

It is an expression of the grace of God: our giving shows that God’s grace has worked within us.
It can be a gift of the Spirit: some Christians have a specific gift of being generous givers.
It is inspired by the cross of Christ: our giving reflects Christ’s giving of himself.
It contributes to equality: our giving reduces how much we have but increases the amount those in need have.
It resembles a harvest: if we sow generously, we reap generously.
It promotes thanksgiving to God: people praise God when Christians meet their needs.
