Financial Support

The stewardship of our finances is a tremendous—and often overlooked—area of our lives where we can faithfully proclaim the gospel. Giving strengthens our devotion to Christ and frees us to live open-handedly with the gifts God gives us. We trust in Him and His provision instead of our perceived self-sufficiency. As people of faith, we give faithfully and generously.

Give Your Money

Volunteer

Just as we can donate from our finances, we can also donate our time. In this way you can help serve people inside, and outside, the church body. We have many ways in which you can serve:

Watching babies, so the mother & father can attend the service
etc...

The most famous passage from Ecclesiastes is the section that says, “There is an occasion for everything and a time for every activity under heaven.” That sentence is followed by a long list of phrases, one of which is: “a time to be silent and a time to speak.

Mental Disorders and the Church

November 1, 2023
by Mario Villella

A few years ago, I was listening to a sermon by Louie Giglio - on the topic of mental illness - that he preached at his church in Atlanta. In that sermon, he mentioned that he thought the Christian church should talk about the topic of mental illness more.

What I Hope To Explain to My Son (and What I Want You to Know) About Church Giving

April 14, 2015
by Mario Villella

I have three children. Since Joey is the oldest one, when I imagine future conversations about things that my kids are too young to understand now, I imagine talking to him about those things first. One day (Lord willing) Joey will turn 16 and get his first job. And somewhere around that time, I’m going to want to talk to him about how his finances intersect with his church life.

A Blast From The Past

November 30, 2023
by Mario Villella

Recently, a woman who is a part of our church mentioned that this article was meaningful to her. I wrote it eight years ago when my son Joey was a little boy. She has applied what she learned in this article to her personal finances, and actually shares it with other people as the topic comes up.
