Giving at New Community Church
Generosity is part of the life of following Jesus. Everything we have ultimately comes from God, and giving is one way we respond in worship, faith, and obedience. Generosity is one of the ways we grow as disciples, care for one another as family, and participate in God’s mission in the world. At New Community we believe giving should be voluntary, joyful, and faith-filled.
Why we give
Christians have always seen generosity as an act of worship. The Bible teaches that everything we have ultimately belongs to God, and giving is one way we honour him and trust him with our lives.
Giving is not primarily about funding a church. It is about shaping our hearts, growing in faith, and learning to live with open hands before God.
As we give, we participate in the life of God’s mission in the world and learn to become people marked by gratitude, generosity, and trust.
A life of generosity
Generosity is about more than money. As followers of Jesus, we seek to live generously with everything God has entrusted to us — our time, our gifts, our hospitality, and our resources.
Financial giving is one expression of a generous life, but it sits alongside many others as we learn to love God, serve others, and participate in his mission together.

Questions people often ask
Feel free to contact us if you have questions about giving that aren't answered on this page.
Giving is not about pressure or obligation. We encourage people to give freely and cheerfully out of what they have.
Giving for the first time can feel like a big step, but it’s often the beginning of a joyful journey of faith and generosity. Starting somewhere is a great place to begin.
Christians throughout history have often used the practice of tithing — giving a tenth of their income — as a helpful guide for generosity. In the New Testament, the emphasis is not on a fixed rule but on giving freely, joyfully, and in response to God’s grace. Start where you can and grow in generosity over time.
