We GIVE because God first GAVE, and He calls us to follow in His footsteps. Your giving enables Christ Fellowship to push forward in our mission of helping you and your family follow Jesus locally, globally and online.
“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” – 2 Corinthians 9:6-8
WHEN YOU TITHE, YOU’RE TRUSTING GOD WITH YOUR FINANCES.
The reason we give is because God is a giver. His very heart and nature, as shown throughout Scripture, is generosity. Because we’re created in His image, we’re most like Him when we give and steward all that He has entrusted to us. Tithing is a biblical principle that means the tenth. The first tenth, which belongs to God, is Holy and set apart for Him. When we bring our tithe to God, it means that we trust and acknowledge that He’s the giver of every good thing in our lives. Tithing isn’t as much about finances as it is about faith. It’s not about what God wants from you but what He has for you. Tithing is about training our hearts to trust God at His Word. He gave us the greatest gift, His Son, and in response to this gift we also give. In Malachi 3:10, The Bible says we can test this promise. When we bring our first and best back to God, He promises to bless the rest of our resources so that we could be a blessing toward others. Is tithing new for you?

Offerings
WE’RE GENEROUS BECAUSE GOD IS GENEROUS
There’s a joy and a blessing that comes when we give above our tithe and bring offerings back to God. As our Leaders have shared, “We’re never more like Jesus than when we serve and give.” In scripture, we’re told that God so loved the world that He gave. Our offerings go beyond the obedience of the tithe; they are a reflection of a life marked by generosity. We believe generosity has a divine purpose connected to it, which is why we invite our church family to give beyond the tithe in one of these ways throughout the year.
