As a church, we believe that we are called to respond to the generosity of the gospel by giving extravagantly to the progress of the gospel in our community and world. Biblical generosity is not about meeting budget needs.It is about a rich and trusting relationship with a living God. We express our faith and love to Him by honoring Him as the source of everything we have. Scriptural giving is performed with regularity, from the first portion of all we are given, as a proportion of our income, cheerfully, and without pressure or manipulation.

Tithing is our starting place in giving. The Bible teaches us about a baseline standard for giving: the tithe (a word that literally means a “tenth”). When we give the first 10% of our income through the local church, we put God first in our lives. Tithing is an act of worship that expresses our gratitude, faith, and love for others. God also encourages us to give offerings beyond our tithe to specific projects at our local church and to other organizations and causes that we personally believe in.

Some Tips for text giving

• If you only text a monetary value, the funds are attributed to the General fund. (Ex: $50 = will go to the General fund)

• If you text the amount + fund name– the funds will be attributed to that fund name. (Ex: $10 Building fund)

• If the fund name you texted does not match- you will receive a message with a list of fund names for you to choose from.

• If you text “Funds” you will receive a reply text including a list of the fund names they can choose to donate to.

• If you text “Help” you will receive a reply text that states: “To give enter the amount you want to give, such as 100. You can also give to a specific fund by typing it after your amount, such as 100 building fund”.

• If you text “Reset” you will receive a reply text that states: “Saved card information successfully removed. Please register your card information again when making your next gift by texting an amount to this number.

Your giving to the church is recorded by the financial secretary. An annual giving statement is given in January of each year for the previous year. You can check your giving on the ShelbyNEXT membership app. If you give online, you can check your giving through your account.
