Showing our love for God and our neighbors
An Act of Worship
All we have is a gift from God, so we believe that giving to God's work is an act of worship.
Membership Expectation
At Resurrection, giving is an expectation of membership. The church does not specify how much an individual should give, but we hope each person will commit a percentage of their income with a tithe being the goal.
Funds Mission & Outreach
Annual giving makes possible: worship, programs for children and students, Bible studies, small groups, pastoral care and support, mission trips, community service, and supports building and operational needs.
2 Corinthians 9:7
"Everyone should give whatever they have decided in their heart. They shouldn’t give with hesitation or because of pressure. God loves a cheerful giver."

A Story of Uncommon Generosity
As a gifted young artist living with vision impairment and a brain tumor, Jeff Hanson gave away millions of dollars through his paintings fueled by his passion to give back to his community.
Jeff found authentic joy and a deep connection with God through living generously. Those who live generously find a deeper sense of community, a lasting hope, and increasing love for others while leaving a lasting impact on the world.

Stewardship FAQ
As Christians we recognize everything we have comes from God, and we are simply sharing those gifts for Kingdom work. Through our tithes and offerings, we demonstrate in a tangible way our love for God and our neighbors. Pray about giving regularly to God’s ministry and mission through Resurrection with a goal of tithing 10% of your annual income. (For more information about tithing, read this GPS Guide post.)
A ministry fund commitment, also known as a pledge, is an individual or family’s annual commitment to the church of their tithes and offerings in support of our church’s ministry and mission.
Ministry and mission through Resurrection are made possible by gifts to the Ministry Fund. This is the vital fund that supports all the programs and ministries and the church. This includes funding worship, programs for children and students, Bible studies, small groups, pastoral care and support, mission trips, community service, building and operational needs, and staffing.
You can complete a Ministry Fund commitment at any time. Resurrection engages in an annual Stewardship campaign during worship typically each November. As a congregation, we will express our gratitude to God and present our cards, representing our commitment to God’s ministry through our church.
