WHY GIVING MATTERS

 
Mariners Community Church is dedicated to pursuing our mission, to help our local Coastside communities find their connection with God and help them to come to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  By helping us financially in this mission you are showing your faith and trust in God.  The practice of tithing is a way for all of us to express worship and thankfulness to God. It demonstrates a reliance upon Him as our provider and the source of all things. Tithing serves as a tangible reminder that everything belongs to God, not to the individual. By giving believers choose to trust God with their finances and allow Him to use their resources for His purposes.

We believe God has called those who follow Him to live faithfully and generously contribute to the ongoing local and global work of His church.

“Let each one do just as he has purposed in his heart; not grudgingly or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver….2 Corinthians 9:7 

…Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! ” 2 Corinthians 9:15

Elijah shares why he began tithing

… “as I kept giving God lifted my anxiety and I put my full faith in him and trusted the situation …  by putting my trust in God, it helped my financial situation a lot.~ Elijah

Michelle and Mark share what giving has meant to them and how the decision to give regularly has enriched both their lives.

Why they do it and how after thoughtful prayer and reflection they each felt led to make their own individual decisions.

… “when I did that, I felt GOD come into my life in ways that I had never anticipated … ~ Michelle

“… I believe that the openness it encouraged in my heart allowed GOD to come in and bless me in many significant and beautiful ways …” ~ Mark
