We believe in following the teachings and example of Jesus. We are called to a generosity that includes the traditional tithe as a holy discipline of personal formation and radical generosity that goes beyond the tithe for the sake of supernatural joy and kingdom come.
MATTHEW 23:23
«You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.» Matthew 23:23
WE ASK
1. Establish a monthly tithe.
2. Sacrifice to discover the joy of generosity.

"And if there is among them any that is poor and needy, and if they have no spare food, they fast two or three days in order to supply to the needy their lack of food. They observe the precepts of their Messiah with much care, living justly and soberly as the Lord their God commanded them."
