Giving @ New Beginnings Church

People talking and enjoying a cup of coffee; New Beginnings Worship Team leading energetic worship; new guests being greeted and shown around; someone taking notes during the sermon; children learning more about Jesus and the Bible in each of their classes.

Each of these ministries is possible because New Beginnings is a member-supported church. Without the tithes and offerings of our members and attenders it would be impossible to offer ministries that help people to become fully-devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

Imagine....what would happen if 100% of New Beginnings regular attenders took the step to become a regular giver? Here are just a few things that would be possible:

• Expansion of current ministries
• Creation of new ministries
• More lives dramatically changed
• Deeper personal relationships with God

	"Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do," says the LORD Almighty, "I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in! Let me prove it to you!" ~ Malachi 3:10

What does the Bible say about giving?

The Bible says more about giving than heaven, prayer or even faith! Here's just a sample of what God says about giving:

Faithful giving draws me closer to God - "Wherever your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will be also." ~ Matthew 6:21

Faithful giving is the key to a full life - "Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and should give generously.... By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may take hold of real life." ~ 1Timothy 6:18-19

Faithful giving blessed me in return - "Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do," says the LORD Almighty, "I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in! Let me prove it to you!" ~ Malachi 3:10

Faithful giving makes me happy - "There is more happiness in giving than in receiving."~ Acts 20:35

Faithful giving reminds me that everything belongs to God - "But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today." ~ Deuteronomy 8:18

Why should I give?

Giving helps me to grow in my faith.

Giving supports the ministries of New Beginnings Church

Giving allows me to be a part of God's impact here in our community and to the "outer ends of the Earth".

One of the greatest measures of spiritual maturity is how we handle the resources that God has given us. Stewardship, honoring God with our finances, is a form of discipleship that will help you to become a fully-developing follower of Jesus.

How much should I give?

The Bible says that every believer should give a minimum of 10% of their income, or a tithe, to the local church. Anything over 10% is called an offering and is a way to honor God through giving sacrificially.

Is my gift tax deductible?

All contributions are 100% tax deductible. Giving statements are mailed at the middle and end of the year to help you keep track of your giving.
