Why We Give
Showing our love for God and our neighbors.
As Christians, we recognize everything we have comes from God, and we are simply sharing these gifts for Kingdom work. Through our tithes and offerings, we demonstrate in a tangible way our love for God and our neighbors. We do this for three reasons:
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 and increase that amount as they are able.
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.
An Approach to Giving
Resurrection member Bill McClave shares why he gives generously of his time and resources.
Your gifts make possible impactful ministry and mission as the church continues to work tirelessly to serve the needs of those in our local community and around the world.

Stewardship FAQs
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.
