Giving at City Church

Giving is an essential way to participate in mission of our church.

We try to make it easy to participate in giving to the ministry of Christ at City Church. There are lots of ways you can give.

Give online here (most common). We live in a digital world. Most of us don’t carry cash or checks anymore. Because of that, we encourage you to set up an account on our simple and elegant giving portal. From there you can easily make one-time or recurring gifts. Once your account is all set up, it will only take a few moments to give. For many of us who are prone to forget, setting regular giving is the way to go.

If you are interested… here is some biblical explanation as to why we passionately believe in giving to the local church.

Financial generosity is part of the obedient life for everyone who calls Jesus the Lord of their life. From the earliest pages of Genesis and throughout the Bible, the Scriptures speak of tithes and offerings. Though often used interchangeably, they are actually different concepts. The word “tithe” means a tenth and represents the Bible’s representation of giving God the first part of our income right off the top. You can find some great articles on the biblical basis for tithing here. We wholeheartedly believe that tithing is one of the most tangible expressions of obedient faith in Christ. The word “offering” is generally used differently in the Bible to denote the idea of a gift above and beyond the normal 10% call from God. This is also something God occasionally asks us to do (read an article about this principle here).

One of our core values here at City Church is giving back. We do this in three primary ways.

Giving back by serving in the local church. We encourage everyone who attends City Church to be involved in serving their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Whether it’s through helping with kids, running a computer in the tech booth, or getting involved with music, we think Jesus wired all of us to serve. If you are interested in serving in the local church, don’t wait!

Giving back by serving in our local community. We take as many opportunities as possible to make a difference in our city. This includes doing community service projects, helping kids with crafts at local events, and serving our city as a whole in a way that fits.

Giving back through financial generosity. We believe that every Christian should be involved in giving back personally in a strategic and systematic manner right off the top. We also believe in being generous as a church. When you give to City Church, you actually give through City Church as percentage of every financial gift that is given goes to support causes locally, church planting, and missions.

So... are you in?

Wherever you’re at in your spiritual journey, we encourage you to start trusting God with your finances. For many, it is often one of the most spiritually formative experiences outside of meeting Christ as their Savior.
