An expression of our worship
Giving
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” – 2 Corinthians 9:7
“On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with their income.” – 1 Corinthians 16:2
How much you give is something you should work out with God, but we believe that our giving expresses something of our worship to God.
Your offerings help to fulfil the vision that we believe God has given us. They allow us to run many programmes and services both for the church and in our wider community. They also support people around NZ and overseas who are involved in various missional activities.

WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH I GIVE?
Our pastors and leadership teams are not involved in any way with our giving records. Your information is confidential to our administration staff only. The only purpose this information is used for is to issue you with a Receipt for Charitable Giving on the 31st March each year so that you can claim 1/3rd of your giving as a rebate from the IRD.
