2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
Our church is funded by the donations of our regular members and online supporters. Giving to our church is always voluntary, therefore we do not take up a public collection during church. We strive to keep all donations anonymous and believe this helps to promote the right spirit of giving.
