Because God has given to us so generously, we seek to become a generous people.
God gave his Son, Jesus, to do for us what we couldn’t do for ourselves—to bring us into this new kind of life. We believe that if we’re truly going to live out the fullness of this life, we’ve got to make constant strides in giving to others out of what God has given to us. When this kind of generosity takes root in us, we’ll respond by sharing it in every way we can—through our time, our skills and gifts, and even our finances.
