Your Generosity Transforms Lives and Communities
Use your gifts to further our mission to reach the ONE who is hurting or lost.
Giving with our finances is one of the ways we worship Jesus with our whole lives. Allison Park Church is supported entirely by the generosity of individuals like you.
Why We Give
The Bible talks a lot about generosity. Jesus mentioned giving more than He did heaven, hell, or even prayer. And giving isn’t just about tithes; it shows up in all kinds of ways. The cool thing is, when we choose to give, it sparks something in us and spreads to the people around us. Before long, generosity becomes part of the culture we live in.
Tithes
At our church, we practice tithing together, not just as individuals, but as a community. A tithe simply means “a tenth,” so we give the first 10% of our income back to God. It’s not just about funding the ministry; it’s about reminding ourselves that money doesn’t control us. Tithing is a way of saying, “God comes first,” and living in the freedom that brings.
As followers of Jesus, we believe that God is the one who has blessed us with the finances we receive. We want to give back to God what’s already His. We don’t “give” our tithe, we “return” it. God can do more through us and our “90%” than we could do with the whole “100%”.
Kingdom Builders
We also encourage considering to give beyond your tithe to Kingdom Builders, an annual missions campaign which helps support water wells, food banks, and so much more. Together, we can impact our communities, our nation, and the world for Christ.
