Giving at Trinity
We affirm that God is the giver of all things and that our own generosity is a joyful response to the lavish goodness of God illustrated so clearly in the gospel.
WHY WE GIVE
As followers of Jesus, we give in response to the grace and generosity of God. Our giving is not a legalistic compulsion, but rather a cheerful offering of whatever amount God has placed on our hearts by His grace (2 Corinthians 9:7). This “grace-giving” is generous, willing, God-directed, sacrificial, active, and motivated by love (2 Corinthians 8:2-8). We consider giving an act of worship to the Lord.
