Giving here doesn't disappear into an institution. It turns into a tank of gas, a load of lumber, a bag of dog food, a heating bill covered for someone who couldn't cover it themselves — and you'll hear about the work it paid for.
And money is only one of three. Time and talent count every bit as much — a Saturday morning, a truck, a skill you've spent thirty years getting good at. A church runs on all three.
What you give is between you and God. Individual giving is confidential — recorded by the treasurer, never discussed, never displayed.
Extending Our Reach
$25
Supplies for a project
Trash bags, gloves, and grabbers for a beach cleanup — or food for the shelter animals we spend a Saturday with.
$100
Materials for a neighbor's repair
Shingles, lumber, or a part that makes the difference between a house that works and one that doesn't.
$250
Food for a monthly gathering
Food on the table for a monthly gathering, plus the project the group decides on that night.
Three Ways to be Generous
If money is what you have, give money. If what you have is a Saturday, a truck, or forty years of knowing how to fix things, give that. We need all three, and we don't rank them.
TIME
Show up for a morning
The month's project, a ride to an appointment, an hour at the shelter. Time is the thing we're shortest on and the thing that changes the most.
TALENT
Use what you’re good at
Carpentry, bookkeeping, nursing, music, making a spreadsheet behave. Whatever you do well is probably something somebody here needs.
TREASURE
Fund the work
Materials, gas, food, and keeping the lights on so there's a building to gather in. One-time or monthly, whatever fits.
Whatever's easiest. None of them is more spiritual than the others.

How to Give Online
Secure, and you can stop or change it any time without talking to anyone.
Then don't. We mean it. Give us a Saturday morning instead — or let us help you. That's not a lesser kind of participation.
