JOURNEY OF THE GIVER

An Initial Giver is someone who decides to give for the first time, in response to God’s Word about giving. This giver decides to trust God and the leaders of the Church with this gift and experiences the joy of putting Jesus’ words into action.

A Consistent Giver is someone who gives consistently to exercise the discipline of giving as a disciple of Jesus. Often, someone who makes their gift an online recurring gift is learning the joy of consistency. Those who give in person or by mail can be consistent as well, but it takes more discipline.

A Priority Giver is someone who understands the sovereignty of Christ and that He is before all things – that all things were created by Him, for Him, through Him, and to Him. This giver prioritizes their giving so that it drives their spending and their saving, as opposed to their spending and saving driving their giving. They experience the freedom of serving “one master” and declaring Jesus is first.

A Surrendered Giver is someone who recognizes that Christ surrendered His whole self for us, and therefore we desire to surrender our whole selves to Him. This giver would say, “My giving is not just changing my spending and saving. It’s also changing me!” They also look at what they’re not giving away and ask, “Is it surrendered too?” This informs how they use everything they’ve been blessed and entrusted with – whether that be through direct monetary giving or through a God-honoring use of an existing resource (i.e. honoringGod with the use of your home, etc.)

An Eternal Giver is someone who sees the eternal impact of their giving, not just the immediate programs and ministries it helps accomplish. This giver has been captivated by the knowledge that the more they are led to “do good, to be rich in good works, be generous, and ready to share,” the more they “take hold of that which is truly life” (1 Timothy 6:18-19). This encourages them to keep growing! They make all decisions (big purchases, savings, giving, relationships, areas of service) in light of how it will affect their eternal impact.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”

- JOHN 15:5&8
