Giving
At Gateway, we desire to be a generous people.
How we handle our resources is a profoundly spiritual matter – Jesus spoke more about a believer and their resources than almost any other subject. Generosity impacts every part of our lives, but one of the ways that Scripture calls us to be generous is with our finances and resources.
The Bible indicates that a tithe (10%) is where we begin this journey of giving. It is not unreasonable to assume (in fact some would be much stronger and suggest it’s biblical) that a significant portion of this tithe should go to supporting the local expression of the body of Christ to whom you belong.
