Why We Give

Scripture teaches that Christian giving is not about guilt or mere external obedience, but about a heart freed from the idol of money and ruled by Jesus.

For Jesus, generosity is not mainly external conduct but a matter of the heart: if money rules the heart, it will rule the whole life; if we are generous with God, it will be natural to be generous with others.

We are called to give generously, cheerfully, and sacrificially for the needs of others and the work of the gospel, trusting Him to provide.

The Tithe: A Biblical Analysis

Pastor Jonathan Gallardo wrote a short manual on the tithe to bring light to a topic of much controversy. Its goal is instruction, not debate: to walk through every passage on the tithe, in its own context, before reaching a conclusion.

Distinctives

"Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls." Jeremiah 6:16

These distinctives show not only what we believe, but how those beliefs shape the everyday life of our church-how we worship, learn, serve, and live.
