OF PEMBROKE
We believe giving is an act of worship rooted in the truth that “every good and perfect gift is from above” (James 1:17) and that “the earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it” (Psalm 24:1). Following biblical principles of stewardship and generosity, we view giving not as a mere obligation, but as joyful worship that declares Christ is our true treasure, for “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). Because we have freely received God’s grace in Jesus Christ, we desire to “give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7), using what He has entrusted to us for the good of others and the advance of the gospel. Our aim is to steward every resource in a way that reflects God’s love, cares for our neighbors, and “stores up treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:20) rather than placing our hope in temporary earthly wealth.
