Paying it Forward.

Jesus gave everything for us, and it’s our joy to give back to Him.

We give because God wants us to be generous with the resources He has given to us. Not only does He want us to be generous, but cheerful while we give. Being faithful with our finances proclaims to our community that we trust God and His provision instead of our perceived self-sufficiency.

Why We Give

Nearly one quarter of Jesus’ teaching was about money. The truth is that money is morally neutral, but what we do with our money reveals something much deeper — what’s in our hearts (Matthew 6:21). God is the creator and owner of everything, so we are merely stewards of His stuff (1 Chronicles 29:14).

Kingsway Community Church encourages members and regular attenders to follow the Biblical model of giving cheerfully (2 Corinthians 9:7) and sacrificially (Psalm 4:5). Contributing financially to the work of the church out of our “firstfruits” is both a renunciation of greed as an idol and an acknowledgement that all we have been given is given to us by God and is to be used for his purposes (Matthew 25:14-30). It is an expression of worship in response to all that God has done in our midst.
