GIVING IS A SIGN OF WHO WE TRUST
When we’re willing to trust God with our finances, we become open to what God wants to do in and through us.
The Bible teaches that stewardship isn’t just about managing resources, but it’s a reflection of our heart and relationship with God.
When we give generously, we get into the habit of seeing that everything we have is a gift from God and should be used for His purpose. True wealth is found in using what we have to bless others, showing compassion, and meeting the needs of others, ultimately reflecting God's love and grace.
GOD OWNS EVERYTHING
WHAT WE BELIEVE
ABOUT GIVING
God created the Earth and everything in it, including us, and therefore everything is his. This eternal truth must drive how we approach every aspect of our lives, including finances. We strive to use what God has given us in ways that honor him, trusting that when we do so our lives will work better because we are operating more in line with how we were created.
GIVING IS AN INVITATION TO TRUST GOD
Giving demonstrates our trust in God as our provider and is a way to know him more. When it comes to giving in the Bible, the precedent is a tithe. Tithing is giving God the first 10% of our income through the local church.
GROWTH TAKES TIME
Many give to Elevate because they appreciate the ministry and want to participate. We celebrate that as a good starting point, but if a person only gives because they love Elevate, we have failed. Instead, the primary motivations for giving should be love for God, obedience to God, and trust in God. We understand that some people who are just starting to give financially may not be able to tithe right away. However, we believe it honors God to build toward the biblical precedent.
GROW IN YOUR GIVING

BUILD YOUR
FAITH
Faith Builders commit to a monthly contribution of $40 to Elevate Church. This is a great first step for people to begin giving financially to EC and towards tithing.
BUILD THE
HOUSE
House Builders commit to tithing- giving the first ten percent of one's income to the church. Tithing is a principle seen throughout the Bible, and it is referenced during our weekend worship experiences.
