We’re almost done! Can you believe it? It’s hard to believe that we have built an entire website in just a few hours (or days… however long it’s taken you to go through these videos). In this video, we will dive into the Blog and Giving pages.

      Giving is a part of our worship to God. It has been said that you can tell nearly everything about a person by the way they spend their money. Whether you are tithing in obedience to Malachi 3:10 or contributing over and above your tithe as an act of generosity, your money will help us minister God's hope and healing to our community and beyond. We give in order to be blessed, not for fear of anything negative in our lives. We give out of gratitude and love! You can give your gift safely and securely online - this is one of the easiest ways to give to our church. Thank you.
