God is generous and so he calls us to be as well. What we do with what God has given us shows the world where our hearts are at and helps proclaim the gospel. We want to glorify God with every area of our lives, and that includes what we do with our finances.
What Does It Look Like to Invest at New Life Church?
We believe that following Jesus includes investing in God's work by investing in the local church. The first community of believers in the New Testament Church faithfully invested in God's work (Acts 2:42-47). This investment fostered boldness and generosity, demonstrating the reality of a life transformed by the gospel—an experience available to you as well.
At New Life Church, we aim to model a community of Christians who live sacrificial lives of generosity, investing in others across many different areas. From opening our homes to others to forgiving those who hurt us, generosity takes many forms. This also includes the investment of sacrificial giving—stewardship of your finances. The Apostle Paul emphasized the importance of financial generosity when he wrote, "Remember this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously." (2 Corinthians 9:6).
However, financial giving is not the only form of generosity we strive for at New Life Church. We invite you to embrace a holistic approach to generosity that includes service, relationships, hospitality, and financial stewardship. By investing in these areas, we reflect the love and generosity of Jesus, making a tangible impact in our church and community.
We offer various ways for you to contribute and support our mission and vision:
