Giving That Grows

Question 1

What does Our Church believe about giving and tithing?

Answer

We believe that God is our ultimate provider, and as Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:33, when we seek Him first, He promises to meet our needs. Everything we have is a gift from Him—“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it...” (Psalm 24:1). Because of this, we view ourselves as stewards, not owners.

Giving is our response to God's generosity. It's a way of honoring Him, returning a portion of what already belongs to Him. Our heart posture matters most—so we give voluntarily, joyfully, and worshipfully. For us, giving isn’t just about money; it’s an act of faith, gratitude, and obedience.

Question 2

Does your Church have a budget?

Answer

Yes!

Our church creates an annual budget guided by the vision set by our Lead Pastor and Board of Directors. From there, our staff and ministry leaders collaborate to prepare detailed budgets for all areas of ministry and operations.

Once compiled, the full budget is reviewed, adjusted if needed, and approved by the Board of Directors. Throughout the year, our administrative team carefully monitors the budget and cash flow to ensure we steward resources responsibly and effectively.

Question 3

What does the Church do with my contributions?

Answer

Your generosity fuels the mission of our church—to share the love of Jesus and make disciples both locally and globally. Every dollar goes toward ministry: from weekend services for adults and children, to community outreach, to supporting missions around the world.

Together, we can do far more than we ever could alone. Your giving makes ministry happen.

Question 4

How is the salary of the Lead Pastor determined?

Answer

The Lead Pastor’s salary and benefits are set by the non-staff members of our Board of Directors. Each year, they conduct a performance review of both the Lead and Co-Lead Pastors and adjust compensation accordingly.

To ensure fairness, the Board uses salary surveys and data from similar churches and ministries, taking into account factors like size, budget, and cost of living differences. This process helps us honor our pastors while being responsible stewards of church resources.

Question 5

Who sets the salaries of the Staff and how are they determined?

Answer

Each staff position has a ministry job description and an assigned pay range based on pre-set criteria. These salary ranges are reviewed annually by the Executive Pastor and Co-Pastor, then approved by the Lead Pastor.

The pay scales are developed using salary survey data and consultations with other churches and ministries of similar size, while also considering cost of living differences.

Finally, the Board of Directors reviews, discusses, and approves the salaries of all staff members to ensure fairness and responsible stewardship.

Question 6

What payment method options can I choose from?

Answer

Our online giving system accepts all major credit and debit cards for your convenience.

If you’re interested in donating stocks, bonds, or other assets, please reach out to the church office at 830-990-0402 for assistance.

Question 8

Does the church provide tax-deductible statements at year-end?

Answer

Yes!

If you give online, you can access and print your giving statement anytime directly from your account.

For those without an online account, the church will email, print, or mail your giving statement by the end of January each year.

Question 9

How do I update my bank account or credit card information?

Answer

To update your bank or credit card details, simply sign in to your giving account where you can easily add or edit your payment information anytime.

Question 10

Can I test this system by giving one time?

Answer

Absolutely!

You can choose the one-time gift option—it's a great way to try out the system and see how easy it is to give.

Question 11

I've signed up for the automated giving program but want to change my preferences or stop. How do I do this?
