Why We Give
At Community Life Church, we believe God’s people are called to change the world. In partnership with Him, we’re committed to transforming lives—from our neighborhoods to the nations—through the power of His love. Every financial gift is prayerfully stewarded and wisely invested in kingdom work. As recipients of God’s generosity, we joyfully sow into our region and take seriously the responsibility to make each gift count. Our leadership stands united in faith, fully committed to the vision of connecting people to God and one another.
Stewardship
God owns everything. We are merely his managers. Stewardship means as children of God we are called to manage what God entrusts to our care — His blessings, His way, for His glory.
Generosity
Generosity is a lifestyle in which we demonstrate God’s love. At its core, it is the graceful and willing response to share with others through personal sacrifice what God has given to us.
Giving
Giving is what a person does when they embrace the promises of stewardship and generosity. People will give to things that break their hearts, and to things for which they are grateful.
