Giving
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
- Matthew 6:21
Why we give.
It is a privilege to give offerings to God - to return our time, talents, and treasure back to God. We recognize that God can do even more than we can imagine with our resources. God leads our church toward Kingdom building and community support in Ankeny and around the world.
Giving tithes and offerings to God is another way of saying "Thank you." Thank you God for life, for grace, for salvation, for mercy, for joy, for help, and for your faithfulness.
