Serving & Giving

Serving

Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. (1 Pet. 4:9-10)

God has given each of us gifts to serve one another and the broader community around us. To find out more about opportunities to serve, please get connected with us or find out more about our various leaders and ministries.

Financial Giving

The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. (Ps. 24:1)

Jesus tells us that finances is a good gift from God, but like all good things, money also has the ability to get the better of us. It has a way of blinding us, and creeping into our hearts. While God gives us resources to steward for his glory, we often treat our finances as our own, as if they belong to us. However in the upside-down kingdom of Jesus, God invites us to see money correctly; to see it as a good gift to be enjoyed and used for God’s glory but to be adored or treasured above all else. The gospel frees us from looking to money to give us what only God can give; true rest, peace and security.

Therefore, how we view our money and what we do with it – whether we use it to build God’s Kingdom or our own—is one of the greatest indicators of just how much the Gospel is impacting hearts.
