"Give... money? Umm..."
Giving money. There is always a stigma around giving money. Whether it is for tithes, ministries, or even just giving up money for things like groceries, most people don't want to let go. We are attached to our money because it pays for the things that we need.
And the thing is, most churches (and Cross Culture is no different) don’t like to talk about it much, because we worry that people will think that money is all we care about. But the truth is God talks about money, a lot. The reason is because God knows how money, having it, or not having it, can control a person’s life. We live in a culture driven by money. That’s at least part of the reason God asks us to give a portion of His resources back to Him. He wants us to put our faith into action in the area of our finances, so that He can show us that He can be trusted to provide all that we need, and more!
At Cross Culture Church our mission is to help people live in God’s will in every area of his or her life, including finances. We want people to experience the freedom that comes through obedience and we have some great resources to help you understand the spiritual significance of giving. We also want to make giving more convenient for everyone. That’s why we’ve provided the option of giving online.
It’s exciting to experience God’s blessings in our lives as we give in obedience to Him, and to know that giving makes us part of the mission to help people discover that it’s not about a religion. It’s about a relationship! Thanks for being a part.

"Give and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full - pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.”
- LUKE 6:38 NLT
"Okay, but if I give, what is it going towards?"
The simple answer is, it's going to Kingdom work, and it is a work that is going on all over the world! When you give your tithe and offerings to Cross Culture Church you are helping to make our local ministry possible. Paying rental fees on our facility, providing resources for children, youth, and adult ministries, supporting ministries to the schools in our area, first responders, and people in need of basics like food and clothing, and vehicle maintenance, to name just a few. You’re also helping to provide the salaries of our pastors and staff personnel.
Financial support also does work all over the world, helping to launch new churches in places like Toronto Canada, Washington D.C., and Boston. We’re also providing financial support to more than 4,000 missionaries serving around the globe, sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. We support Gideon’s International, providing Bibles to men and women, boys and girls all over the world. We also set aside a percentage of all financial resources to help scholarship people from Cross Culture Church to go on short-term mission trips, because we’re called to not just send money, but send ourselves to make a difference. These are just a few of the ways we are using God’s resources for His honor and glory, and for people’s good.
So, we give because God asks us to as an act of faith in Him, but we give joyfully, knowing that God is using what we give back to Him to accomplish ministry that is changing people’s lives, and more importantly, changing people’s eternal destiny. Thanks in advance for your obedience to Christ in the area of giving financially. It’s exciting to be a part of what God is doing!
