The Culture Of Heaven
Jesus said “I have come to give you life to the full” and “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” To follow Jesus is to become a person of generosity of heart.
We want to invite you into the counter-forming way of God’s Kingdom through the practice of GENEROSITY. When we commit to giving a consistent amount on a consistent basis, with joy and thankfulness for all that we have, we are counter-formed from the influence of the culture around us. We are slowly cultivating a generous heart.
Financial Transparency
We take our responsibility to be good stewards of God’s resources very seriously. Our Finance Team works under the direction of the Leadership Circle to manage the financial management of our budget.
How We Invest
Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. As you give, we give!
Here's how we invest your generosity:
We give away (tithe) the first 11%
We want to practice what we preach, so every month we give 11% of everything that comes in—that is our “tithe”. That 11% is divided between local ministries, emergency help for our church, our ONMB Conference, and international ministries.
Ministries
Our ministries are all funded through our annual budget.
Expansion & Growth
How do we fund building renovations, front lines mission and ministry expansion? Through our annual Year-End offering. Each on the Sunday before Christmas Eve we take a special offering above and beyond what we normally give so that we can go beyond where we normally go. That offering has enabled us to invest over $750,000 into our building over the last 6 years, give over $90,000 away to mission and fuel ministry projects we could never fit into our annual budget.
Our Year-End Offering This Year is: Dec 21
Giveaway Offering
Once a year, in early December we take an offering that we give 100% away. It has become the highlight of our year! Each year our Leadership Circle takes time to discern the significant needs within our church family, their families or in our local community or churches. We do this before Giveaway Sunday so that we are impartial in what we are discerning. Over the last 8 years we have given well over $100,000 away to families in need within our church, we’ve purchased vehicles, given to missionaries families from our church who have gone out into the field and supported single moms with young kids from within our church.
Giveaway Sunday This Year: Dec 7
Generosity Liturgy
Once a month, we practice a Generosity Liturgy as a whole church live in our service. This is a way for us to remind ourselves that the way of extravagant generosity requires us to be counter-formed from the culture of the world, into the image of Jesus.
Generosity Liturgy
Holy Father, there is nothing I have that You have not given me.
I offer my life to you again, all that I am and all that I have. I give
you everyone and everything.
[Pause & Reflect]
Father, I recognize that to spend everything I have on myself, or to give without sacrifice, is the way of the world, not the way of your Kingdom—which is joyful & extravagant generosity, as I grow in trusting you more with my whole life. Holy Spirit, help me recognize and resist areas of greed at work within me, which plunges the human heart into ruin.
[Pause & Reflect]
We are determined to increase in generosity and become trustworthy with such a little thing as money, so that You can trust us with true riches. Above all, we are determined to be generous because You, Father, are joyfully and extravagantly generous in your very nature.
[Prayer]
