At Rock Point Church we encourage generous living in response to a generous God. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says, You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that by His poverty He could make you rich.
The giving of our finances, our treasure, is a response to the grace of God in our lives. It does not come out of our own philanthropy or altruism, but instead is a result of the transforming work of Christ in us. Grace is the action; our giving is the reaction. So, we encourage you to pray and ask God what He would have you give in response to His generosity.
An easy way to think about your giving is to follow the three principles below:
- Priority – Give to God first
- Percentage – Select a percentage of your income and faithfully give that amount
- Progressive – Pray about growing your giving and your trust in God (increasing your percentage)
Finally, the confidentiality and accuracy of your giving is a priority at Rock Point Church. Regardless of the frequency or amount of your giving, we will maintain current and accurate records of each transaction. And, because giving to Rock Point Church is a matter between you and God, we take seriously our role as the steward of that transaction. Therefore, you can be assured that your giving will remain confidential.
