Ways to Give Beyond Annual Pledge

We are called to respond to the many blessings God has given each of us by returning a portion of these blessings to support the work of Jesus in and through our church to the wider community.

In 1 Chronicles 29:14, King David acknowledges, ​“For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.” Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6 to invest what has been given to us in meaningful pursuits by saying ​“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
