Why Give?
We are called to give generously and cheerfully out of our love for God and our neighbor. We give our whole selves (talents, gifts, time, and finances) in worship of our Maker who is the true owner of all that we have. We give as an eternal investment and believe that God rewards us as we participate with Him in His mission.
Our greatest need is gifts to our Ministry Offering as we have great flexibility in using that money. However, if your employer allows matching gifts to nonprofit organizations, please note our Grace Offering is used to meet the felt needs of both Villagers and our non-church going neighbors. This is considered a non-religious offering and meets the requirements for most employers if they do matching gifts.
Contributions to the Church are tax-deductible as allowed by law. The Church has complete discretion and control over the use of donated offerings. Offerings donated for a designated purpose will be used for that purpose until it is fully funded or after 12 months, after which any excess offerings may be reallocated to the Ministry Offering.
