GIVE
God has given each of us the privilege of taking part in His mission. The reason Grace exists is to Reach, Raise, & Send disciples with the gospel message, and we will do that effectively because of your generosity.
EMBRACE GENEROSITY.
God has designed us to be generous in ways that expand His kingdom by reaching our neighbors and the nations. We give because He gave first and our giving shows that we trust God.
Giving is to be a priority, done proportionally, sacrificially, and cheerfully. (Proverbs 3:9; Malachi 3:8-12; Matthew 6:19-21, 25:14-29; Luke 21:1-4; Acts 2:44-47, 20:35; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2; 2 Corinthians 9:6-15)
