Through Tithing

“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more   than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen”

Ephesians 3:19-21

Elk River Nazarene Church has become the church that many of us call home.  Each ministry has in some way touched your life, and made your walk with the Lord stronger.  However, as with all homes we have financial needs.  These needs can hinder us as a church from continuing to offer connection points to others who are seeking what we have found at "The River."

The Bible offers us guidelines for giving by teaching the tithe or the giving of the first 10 percent of what we earn to God for God’s work.  For some, out of necessity, the giving of the tenth is a goal they grow toward.  For others, it is the starting point, and they give in excess of this.  The important thing is that your start somewhere and that your giving be in proportion to your income.  If you are not yet tithing, consider taking the step.

• Giving is an expression of gratitude and praise to God.

• Giving blesses the giver in a host of ways.

• Giving is an act of faith and demonstrates faithfulness, ownership and a belonging to the church family at The River.

• Giving makes a difference – your tithes and offerings are used by God through the Church to change, transform and renew lives locally.

• God is honored by our giving.

• The Church and it ministries are made possible by your giving.

It is through tithing that we honor God and we are able to share the Gospel through the various connection points at "The River."
