Why We Give

Christian giving begins with the recognition that everything we are and have belongs to God (Psalm 24:1). We are stewards of God’s gifts, called to manage them faithfully and generously. Our giving is also a grateful response to God’s grace revealed in Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 6:20). Through generous giving, we participate in God’s work—supporting the Church’s ministry and mission, caring for those in need, and advancing God’s purposes in the world.

Planned Giving

A planned gift is a gift from your assets or estate that might include a bequest, life insurance, real estate, or personal property. We encourage those interested in this option to work closely with their financial advisors to determine the most advantageous estate plan for them.
