God does not need your money...
We understand that God does not need your money, while acknowledging that the church certainly does. In United Methodist theology, we recognize that God is not angry when we can't give, nor is God in desperate need of our financial resources. The Creator of the universe isn't waiting anxiously for our contributions. However, our church community has very real practical needs—we need to pay staff who serve our congregation, keep the lights on, maintain our building, and yes, even buy toilet paper. Your financial gifts directly enable the ministry work we do together. When we give, we're not appeasing God or earning favor, but rather participating in God's ongoing work through our faith community. Our giving helps transform our beautiful building from a financial concern into a powerful ministry tool that brings hope and healing to our community.
