Why We Give

Jesus calls us to live a life of generous discipleship. We aspire to Outrageous Generosity: sacrificial living that puts the needs of others ahead of self. We recognize no real spiritual growth can occur in our lives until we surrender every part of our lives, including our money and possessions. As his followers, Jesus expects us to be sacrificial in our giving, reflecting his ways in the things we do, the places we go and the choices we make.
