Embrace generosity

At Hope Chapel, we are supported by gifts, offerings, tithes, and donations as a non-profit organization. Followers of Christ recognize that the Bible teaches us a baseline standard for giving: the tithe. We are to honor God with the “first fruits” of our labor (Proverbs 3:9). When we give the first 10% of our income to the church, we put God first in our lives.  And God responds by giving back to us His blessings. We can’t out give God (Malachi 3:10-11). Tithing is an act of worship that expresses our gratitude and faith in God as well as our love for others. Your giving allows Hope Chapel to continue to reach people far from God. Not only that, but it shows that you understand the value of stewardship (faithful management of what God gives you) and offering back to God what He has blessed you with.
