What Do the scriptures say?
Living generously is a principle that is found throughout the scriptures. When we give to the work of the local Church, we are putting legs to our faith by actively, habitually placing God first in our lives. It is a Jesus-follower’s way to thank God for His provision, to sustain our trust in Him, even to curtail our own greed. It also helps fuel the mission of the local church to share the love of Christ with others, especially those who are unchurched.
The bottom line is that as we grow in our relationship with Jesus, we mature to become increasingly like him. And because Jesus was generous, we want to grow in our generosity as well.

What ARE people SAYING?
"Because I travel so much for work, it has always been difficult for me to keep track of my giving. Often I get my giving report and am left wondering what happened because I thought I had given more conisistantly. Automating my generosity is exactly what I need."
- Chris Robinson, Anthem volunteer and leader
“Deciding to become automatically generous was a pivotal moment in my faith journey. Once I decided to give a percentage of my income and automate it, God began showing up in my life in ways he never had before. When we demonstrate our trust in God through giving, God responds in powerful ways and our faith grows! It was one of the best decisions I ever made in my journey of faith.”
- Mark Stutzman, Anthem volunteer and leader
