GIVE
Worshipping God by joyfully giving
Everything God gives is not with the aim of building up our personal wealth & possessions as an end in and of itself. Rather, it's meant to be stewarded as resources on loan from God, fulfilling the model Jesus taught. In other words, we've been blessed in order to be a blessing. This principle is interwoven into all of Jesus' teaching. (Lk. 12:48)
Calvary SLO operates off the generous tithes & donations of its members and supporters. We give because of the grace God has given us. The Bible describes this “giving” as being:
+Generous (2 Cor 8:2)
+Willful (2 Cor 8:3)
+God-directed (2 Cor 8:5)
+Active (2 Cor 8:7)
+Motivated by Love (2 Cor 8:8)
If you're outside our area and feel compelled to give above and beyond your primary giving to your local Christian body and/or mission, we appreciate greatly your support.
Our desire is to be faithful stewards serving the Lord in all things, and one of the primary ways we serve God is by joyfully giving to the Lord, what the Bible calls our, “firstfruits” (2 Corinthians 9:7; Proverbs 3:9). We would ask those who consider Calvary SLO their home church to give joyfully as they are able, not by meeting an obligatory percentage, but by gladly sacrificing for the sake of the gospel. Ultimately, we want to be generous givers, because God is a generous giver.
We thank those who have helped us and partnered with us in the gospel.
