God gives joyfully, so we give generously to join His work of Shalom in our neighborhoods
We’re a church who believes in God’s heart for the world, already working, already moving, already pouring out gifts right where we live. When we see God like that, it frees us up to give like he does: with joy and with generosity. When we give like that, we see more of God’s work of well-being and wholeness (shalom) in our neighborhoods around us. Join us in our mission by giving today.

Generosity is Worship
Every act of giving is an act of worship and a prayer. We believe in recognizing that every space is saturated with God’s presence, even the act of clicking a button to give on a website. Please don’t let this moment pass as mundane! As you give, mark the moment by taking time to pause and say this prayer:
Bless now, O Lord, this gift and its benefits, that it might be received as evidence of your mercies, and multiplied in effectiveness for your kingdom.
Through this and other acts of giving, train my heart toward a greater generosity, that the habits of my stewardship might be ever more pleasing to you, and ever more expressive of your own holy heart and passions.
All that I have is yours, Lord Christ.
All that I have is you.
Use then this small gift for works of love and mercy, and unto the increase of your glory.
Amen.
