Why Do We Give?
At The River Church, we believe everything we have comes from the Lord, therefore, giving is an act of worship and trust. “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it,” Psalm 24:1. When we give, we’re not simply supporting a church organization — we are participating in the work of God across our communities and beyond. Through giving, we help proclaim the Gospel, disciple families, invest in the next generation, care for those in need, and reach people in every community the Lord leads us to. Scripture teaches that giving is a matter of the heart. “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver,” 2 Corinthians 9:7. We give generously, sacrificially, and purposefully because God has been generous to us, and we desire to be obedient and faithful stewards of what He has entrusted to us. If you are a guest at The River Church, please hear this clearly — there is no expectation for you to give.
