Jesus gave Himself for us first. Our giving is a response to His love, an act of worship, and a way to take part in what God is doing through the church.

A gift can be seen, but the heart behind it cannot be measured by its size. Giving is one outward expression of what God is forming within us: trust, gratitude, and a willingness to live open-handed with what He has entrusted to us.

Every person’s circumstances are different, and each next step will look different. Take time to pray and consider what a faithful step in giving might be for you. Whether you are beginning, building a regular practice, or continuing to give, you are invited to grow in trust without pressure or comparison.

To dare to live generously is to place our faith in God’s faithfulness. We give not because we can see exactly how everything will work out, but because we trust the God who has already given Himself for us and promises to provide what we need. Giving becomes one way we respond to His faithfulness, taking a next step of trust and joining in His work through the church.
