"But as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in our love for you—see that you excel in this act of grace also...For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich."
II Corinthians 8:7-9
Giving is a basic aspect of the Christian life. As children of God, we do not give God our leftovers; we give him our best, (Gen. 4:4-5). We do not serve ourselves, and then, if we have anything to spare, serve the Lord also. Jesus calls his followers to "seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness," knowing that when we put God first, "all these things will be added to us," (Matt. 6:33).
Tithing is not only part of our Christian obedience (Mal. 3:10), it is also an expression of our love for God (I Jn. 5:3), our joy in Christ (II Cor. 8:2), and our trust that the Lord is our Provider, not ourselves, (II Cor. 9:8). Therefore, we disciple the members of our church to strive to be "cheerful givers" who "sow bountifully," knowing that a generous heart brings glory to God, (II Cor. 9:6, 11).

Ways To Give
There are three ways to give at Covenant Grace. The preferred method is to give during our Lord's Day worship services. This is because giving is an act of worship, and it is important that in the age of a digital economy our children still grow up seeing us joyfully worship God in this way. However, there are two other options which are also available to you.
Give During Worship
The offering is collected during worship each Lord's Day.
