CHRIST REFORMED Fellowship

Christ Reformed Fellowship

Give

Giving is an act of worship — a declaration that Christ, not money, is Lord. We receive your gifts with gratitude and handle them with accountability.

The theology of giving

Why should I give?

The Apostle Paul said to the Philippian church, "Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit." That is our heart toward you as well.

We are not primarily concerned with our budget. We are concerned with your soul — and with the health of Christ's body. Giving is one of the primary instruments God uses to pry your heart loose from the grip of mammon and attach it more firmly to His Kingdom.

Give cheerfully. Give sacrificially. Give regularly. And give as an act of faith in the God who owns all things — not as a transaction with a religious institution.

"Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."

2 Corinthians 9:6–7

Five reasons to give:

01
Guard your heart
Give to resist the deceitfulness of riches — the slow, quiet work of money to become your lord instead of your servant.
Mark 4:19 · Matthew 6:24
02
Follow your King
Jesus became poor so that we through His poverty might become rich. Giving is imitating Him.
2 Corinthians 8:9 · Philippians 2:5–8
03
Care for the saints
Your giving funds mercy ministry — the care of widows, struggling families, and those in need within the covenant community.
Acts 2:44–45 · 1 Timothy 5:3–16
04
Support faithful ministers
Those who labor in the Word and doctrine are worthy of double honor. Your giving frees your elders to shepherd well.
1 Timothy 5:17–18 · Galatians 6:6
05
Advance the Kingdom
Your giving funds the ministry of the Word — locally and, where possible, beyond. Every dollar is a seed sown in the field of the world.
Matthew 13:31–32 · Romans 10:14–15

Accountability

Where does our giving go?

We believe accountability is a mark of a trustworthy church. Our elders and deacons oversee all finances with transparency, and our books are available to members on request.

Your gifts fund the Word, the sacraments, the care of the flock, and — where the Lord provides — the advancement of the gospel beyond our walls. We do not spend lavishly on ourselves. We spend on ministry.

Note: Christ Reformed Fellowship respects donor intent and will honor designations where possible, while retaining elder discretion over all gifts in service of the congregation's greatest need.

Not yet a Christian?

If you are not a follower of Jesus Christ, please do not give. We don't want your money — we want you to receive the infinite, inexhaustible treasure of Christ Himself. Come worship with us, hear the Word, and let God do His work.
