Giving

We believe and teach that every Christian, as a good steward of that portion of God’s wealth entrusted to him/her, is obligated to support his/her local church financially. God has established the tithe as a basis for giving but every Christian should also give other offerings sacrificially and cheerfully to the support of the church, the relief of those in need, and the spread of the Gospel. ( Genesis 14:20 ; Proverbs 3:9-10 ; Acts 4: 34 –37 ; I Corinthians 16:2 ; II Corinthians 9:6-7 ; Galatians 6:6 ; Ephesians 4:28 ; I timothy 5:17-18 ; I John 3:17 )
