GIVING

Impact Lives Generously

WHY WE GIVE

At Hope we think about giving in four steps of growth:

Start to give to your church and partner with
their ministries and mission efforts.
Giving a tithe regularly to your church out of gratitude
for God’s faithfulness to you.
Regular giving to your church more than a tithe to
experience the spiritual growth of increasing faith.
Providing self-perpetuating funds for the future through endowment, estate, or other mechanisms so that your gift becomes an investment in the faith of others.

GIVING FOR NEW LIFE

 
It is such a blessing to see how God provides just as Paul explains in Philippians 4:19,  “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.” 
We want to encourage you to take the next step in your giving journey. Give God a chance to be faithful to you.

A tithe is a (10%) portion of your income given as an offering to your local church. In Hebrew the word tithe literally means tenth. Jacob's first tithe is described in Genesis 28:22 "and this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God's house, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth." We also see discussions of tithing in the New Testament in Luke 16 and Matthew 23. But the conversation in the New Testament is most often about generosity (I Cor 9:6-8), sacrifice (Philippians 4:18) and surrender (Matthew 6:3-4, 19-34).
