Your Giving Matters
Your tithes and gifts are vital to the every day ministry that takes place in and through Oakview!
A tithe—which just means “tenth”—is defined as the first 10% of a person’s income before taxes or anything else comes out. Tithing is bringing the first 10% of our income back to God. It’s a way to worship God by showing Him that we trust His promises. It’s also a way to protect our hearts from greed. By bringing back to God what is rightfully His, we remind ourselves that everything we have comes from Him.
Offerings are any gifts we give over and above the tithe. As we understand how generous God is to us, we’ll find ourselves wanting to be more and more generous toward Him.
The Bible says in Matthew 6:24 that the top competitor for our commitment to Jesus is money. Giving allows us to demonstrate that He is more important to us than material things. Not having cash or check on hand doesn’t have to hold you back from giving. You can be obedient today by giving online. There is no organization with more potential to change the world than the local church!
Because of your generosity, Oakview is able to gather weekly, invest in missions, and meet tangible needs in our community on a weekly basis. Thank you so much for your faithfulness to give!
