The Generosity of Jesus Christ
As followers of Christ, we believe that giving is an essential part of living out our faith. The Bible teaches us that all we have is a gift from God, and in response to His incredible generosity, we are called to give back with thankful hearts.
At the center of our faith is the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. In 2 Corinthians 8:9, we read, "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich." Jesus gave everything for us, holding nothing back, so that we could receive the gift of eternal life. As His disciples, we are invited to reflect that same generosity in our lives.
Why Give?
Your generosity supports the vast array of ministries and services we provide. From local community outreach to supporting our church operations, every gift ensures that we can continue our mission. Thank you for considering a donation to Christ Community Church. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of many through the grace of giving.
Still have questions about giving? We'd love to hear from you.
Transforming Generosity
Giving as Worship
When we give, we are not simply meeting a need or fulfilling a duty; we are engaging in an act of worship. Proverbs 3:9 says, “Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce.” Our giving expresses gratitude for God’s provision and trust in His continued faithfulness. It’s a way of placing God first in our hearts and acknowledging that He is the ultimate provider of all things.
Advancing God's Kingdom Together
Your generosity enables the church to carry out its mission of spreading the gospel, serving the community, and supporting those in need. From local outreach to global missions, your gift helps make a tangible impact for Christ’s Kingdom. As we partner together in giving, we join in the work God is doing through our church and beyond.
A Heart Transformed by Grace
Ultimately, giving is not just about the money—it’s about a heart transformed by the grace of God. When we give, we are reminded of God’s immeasurable gift to us—His Son, Jesus Christ. As we give, we experience the joy of participating in His work and reflecting His love to the world.
Thank you for your faithful generosity. Your gift, no matter the size, is an expression of trust in God's provision and an investment in His Kingdom work.

Guidelines for Giving at Christ Community Church
Reflect on Your Gift
Pray and Reflect
As you consider your gift, we encourage you to take time to pray and reflect. Let your giving be a joyful and heartfelt response to God's abundant generosity in your life.
Plan Your Giving
Thoughtful and intentional giving allows us to faithfully respond to God’s blessings. We encourage you to plan your giving as part of your budget, ensuring that your contribution is an intentional act of worship.
Giving Within Your Means
Giving Within Your Means
We believe that faithful stewardship begins with managing the resources God has entrusted to us. We encourage you to give in a way that reflects wise financial stewardship, ensuring that you are living within your means.
Discourage Debt
While giving is an important expression of faith, we do not want anyone to give in a way that leads to financial strain. Proverbs 22:7 reminds us of the dangers of debt, and we encourage you to give only in a manner that aligns with your financial well-being.
Consistency Over Quantity
Emphasize the importance of consistent giving over the amount given. Regular, planned giving helps the church budget and plan its ministries more effectively.
Automatic Contributions
To help make giving a regular part of your spiritual journey, we encourage setting up automatic contributions through online banking or mobile giving. This simple method helps build the habit of generosity and provides consistent support for the church’s ongoing work.
