God provides for the ministry of our church through your tithes and offerings and your gifts are honored with faithful stewardship, ethical business practices, and accountability to our leadership. It’s more than keeping the lights on and the gears turning; it’s about personal worship to God and handing Him back what He already owns…and it’s about lives changing through the transformative power of the Gospel in our region and beyond.
“But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this?
Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.”
1 Chronicles 29:14
God’s Word calls us to obediently “tithe” (give 10%) of what He gives us, to do His kingdom work. “Offerings” given to God are gifts above and beyond our tithes. Tithes and offerings are vital to the health of Our Church and provide for all the areas of ministry and outreach.
That might mean being lavishly generous or simply sacrificial…like sacrificing a fast food meal once a week and giving that cost in the offering this week. What you give should be decided between you and God, and ask that you give in some way from a worshipful heart.
Prayerfully consider:
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart what to give, not reluctantly of 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 9:7-8
Giving is an integral part of worshiping our heavenly Father. Giving is an expression of obedience, yes, but also of gratitude, trust, and increasing joy. Our tithes and offerings are contained within our general fund to be used under the discretion of the leadership. Your continued support provides the funds we need to continue our mission to be a shining light in a dark world. Thank you.
As a fellowship of believers we support the work Kenneth Expei of Global Christian Awakening located in the southern part of Nigeria. He is currently working on their worship center known as Awakening Chapel. The building project is ongoing through the support of Salem Congregational Church. Our heart truly reaches out to the people of the world, and your gift can make a giant difference.
