Q: What do you mean by 20%?

A: We are committed to achieving a 20% increase in pledged dollars as well as a 20% increase in the number of pledging units/households.

Q: How much should I pledge?

A: The tithe, giving 10%, is the biblical norm and a good spiritual discipline. Many start by giving a proportional gift, a percentage of all we receive, and then increase it each year, growing toward tithing. Whatever your gift, consider giving God the first and best of all you receive, making it an intentional and meaningful priority in your household spending.
