Give
We believe all of our resources and provisions come from a generous and loving God. In turn we ask our church family to have these same traits. We want to thank every individual who chooses to financially support our vision and work.
Each man should give that he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:7
