Stewardship: What is the bottom line?

If I am not ready to tithe but I want to make a financial contribution, will I be treated differently than other people in the church?

Absolutely not. Your pledge is a confidential promise you make with this covenant community. Only two or three people (who take responsibility for the financial operations of the church) will ever know the amount of your pledge.

We hope and pray people will discover our covenant community to be a supportive home wherever they are on their journey of faith. Our generation struggles under great spiritual confusion. It takes time for people who are new to faith to discern how God truly works in the world.

The tithe is just one spiritual discipline among others we all must learn as we mature as human beings.
