Concerning Giving
We Believe:
The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Proverbs 11:25
We believe that the church should be managed and maintained solely by freewill giving. Every man according as he purposes in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
