Giving
What Happens When You Give
“Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.” – 2 Corinthians 9:6 (NLT)
Giving is a spiritual practice that reflects the generosity of God towards His people. We give because God has first given to us… and we can never out-give God!
For every dollar given to the ministries of Bethlehem Lutheran Church…
12 cents to mission beyond our walls. This goes to support local, domestic, and global mission through the ELCA and other partners.
55 cents goes to compensating, educating, and equipping our fantastic staff, who lead and serve this congregation on a day-to-day basis.
10 cents goes to ministry resources such as curricula, events, conferences, and the tools we use for discipleship.
23 cents goes to our facility, which houses our worship space, food pantry, lounge, fellowship hall, preschool, and extended care.
