Joy of Generosity Sunday + Elder Tithe
Your generosity has impact!
Our Elders allocate a tithe of our annual budget to support local, regional and global ministries. Funding requests for the Elder Tithe are submitted in October, and grants are awarded by January. Recipients are recognized by the congregation on "Joy of Generosity Sunday" in February. We hear stories of changed lives as we meet our ministry partners and celebrate Joy of Generosity Sunday. In 2023, we allocated over $136,000 to 25 ministry partners! These non-profit ministries expand the reach and impact of our ministry as together we Love God, Love People, and Live Like Jesus. |
