GIVE  

Your giving helps join in the restoration of all things through making disciples, partnering with ministries and missionaries, and planting churches.
Discipleship to Jesus involves our whole lives for our whole lives, including our finances. The practices of simple living, grateful contentment, and worshipful giving guide our financial stewardship. They are essential to formation into Christlikeness, to our care for one another, and to our participation in God’s mission.

WHY DO WE GIVE?

Everything we have comes from God. Even the ability to work and earn are his gifts. Everything we have belongs to God.

He entrusts us to faithfully steward his gifts for the good of his Kingdom. (Genesis 2:7-9 and 15-16; Deuteronomy 18:11-18; Psalm 24:1; Matthew 10:8; 1 Peter 4:10)

God invites us to give a portion of what he’s given us back to him in gratitude, joy, and trust. We offer him the first and best of our resources as a sign of offering our whole lives to him. (Deuteronomy 14:22-23; Proverbs 3:9-10; Matthew 22:18-21; 2 Corinthians 8:1-9 and 9:5-8; 1 Thessalonians 5:18)

God is a generous God. He delights in giving good gifts to his children. We were created to reflect his work and character to his world. When we give, we participate in the Spirit’s work of making us more like Christ. (Genesis 1:26-30; Matthew 5:45-48; 7:7-12; Luke 12:32-34; Ephesians 4:20-28; Colossians 3:10; 2 Peter 1:3-4)

When we live with transformed hearts and open hands, we join Jesus in the restoration of all things. Our giving becomes God’s means for making disciples, meeting needs, partnering with ministries and missionaries, and planting churches - all for the common good. (Deuteronomy 14:28-29, 15:7-11; Luke 3:11-14; 1 Timothy 6:17-19; Acts 4:32-35)

The Practice of Giving

At Communion of Saints,  we invite everyone to follow Jesus with our finances through these practices.

Give something

If you are new to following Jesus, new to church, or new to giving, we invite you to begin your financial discipleship by simply giving something. This could be a one-time or an occasional gift to our church, to a specific ministry, or to a Kingdom partner.

Give regularly

Give regularly

As you learn to trust Jesus with your money, we invite you to continue your financial discipleship by giving regularly. Make giving a consistent practice by giving every time you worship or by setting up recurring giving online or through your IRA or donor advised fund.

Give generously

Once giving becomes a regular practice, we invite you to prayerfully grow in generosity. This step invites reflection on how your resources serve God’s Kingdom. Consider where you might simplify your life to give more freely, or increase the percentage of your income you give as the Spirit leads.

Give sacrificially

The goal of discipleship is becoming people of love who reflect the sacrificial love of God revealed on the cross. As you listen for Jesus’ leading, consider what faithful sacrifice he may be inviting you into. Perhaps a significant gift, long-term commitment, or legacy offering. Always seek wisdom from loved ones and trusted professionals.
