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.

FAQs

What does my money go toward?

Your giving makes ministry at Middletown possible – resourcing missions in the community and the world, providing salaries for our ministry and support staff, resourcing life-changing ministries, and maintaining our beautiful campus. Ten percent of all general fund giving goes to support ministries and partnership efforts outside the church, in the community and in the world.

Are there specific initiatives that I can give to?

All gifts received go directly to the general fund, unless a different designation is noted.

Designated gifts for other purposes are accepted as well. For more information about designated gifts, contact Eva Bush at [email protected].

Giving statements are mailed to donors at the end of the year, along with an annual statement of giving mailed in January. Electronic giving statements are also provided periodically to those with an active email account.
