ONLINE GIVING AT
LIVING HOPE..
If
you are a member or regular attendee of Living Hope Community Church
looking to give online, please enter our
secure online giving web page.
If you’re a first-time guest or a non-Christian, we don’t want your
money, we’re just glad to have you with us. If you visit a Sunday
service, fill out a visitor card and drop it in the offering basket
during service so we can get to know you. That’s your contribution to
our service and ministry.
For those who call Living Hope home, however, giving cheerfully and
sacrificially of our finances is part of our worship. A believer labors
not to accrue personal wealth or possessions, but to steward God's
resources well and model Jesus to brothers, sisters, and our world.
Our work is an effort to serve our Lord Jesus Christ in all things, and
one of the primary ways we serve God is by cheerfully giving God our
“firstfruits” (2 Corinthians 9:7; Proverbs 3:9). We call our members to
give, not by meeting a simple percentage, but by digging deep and
sacrificing for the sake of the gospel because Jesus sacrificed for us,
and we desire to follow him in all things.
We list our weekly giving surplus or deficit in our weekly program so that
the church and our guests can see how we’re doing as a body in meeting
our financial needs. We thank those who have helped us meet these needs
and pray that those coming and remaining would join in faithful,
consistent, godly giving as Scripture instructs.
