What about Church Finances?

The church's ministries are supported by the tithes and offerings of those who attend. We believe in tithing, which technically is giving 10 percent of our income to the work of God in the local church. However, we believe tithing is the floor of giving, not the ceiling.

We facilitate giving in our Sunday service by receiving an offering. The money collected is recorded by a team of “counters.” The pastor then receives a weekly report of the total amount of the income, but he does not see the names of those who gave or the amount of each individual tithe. At the end of the year, in accordance with the IRS, a report of your giving is made available to you. Monthly reports showing an overview of the entire finances of the church are given to the deacons each month. An Annual Report is offered to all members/partners at the annual meeting. In addition to the tithe, there are several other opportunities for giving. These are listed bellow.
