our answers to your giving questions

What does the bible say about giving?

The concept of giving in the New Testament is that pretty much everything belongs to God. There are even stories of early believers completely liquidating their assets to provide for others and giving sacrificially to counteract the persecution that many faced. (Acts 4:32-37 and 2 Corinthians 8:1-5) Scripture tells us we should give in keeping with our income. Scriptural giving is more holistic than simply writing a check for a certain amount; it encompasses our strengths, talents and time, not just finances.

who should not give online?

If you’re carrying credit card debt don’t add to it. If you are struggling to manage your finances, we can connect you to someone who can help you gain a Scriptural perspective on your finances.

If you use our online giving option, you will now have access to your own giving statements at the end of the calendar year. If you have provided an email address, this statement will be generated for you by the end of January of the following year.

No, but there is a small fee charged to LCN for online credit card transactions.
