PEOPLE ARE OUR MISSION
Money is just a tool which we believe is to be used to meet our own needs, provide for our family, bless the church of Christ, advance righteousness, and meet the needs of others.
Generosity is our goal
Our purpose is to encourage the believer to live obediently to God's Word and to develop a heart for greater generosity.
faithfulness is our PRACTICE
Not everyone is called to accumulate great wealth. But we are all called to faithfully practice what Scripture says about life, including the management of our finances.
