Generosity Ladder at Gloria Dei

If you've never given for the cause of Christ, take a step and give something for the First Time.

Maybe you've given in the past, but realize that you haven't made it a habit. Take a step and give on a regular basis.

You've thought it through...you've put God first in your budget...it's not where you want it to be yet, but you are thinking about this intentionally, and you are growing toward a tithe.

You give 10% of your finances sacrificially as a first response for the cause of Christ.

You not only give sacrificially for Gloria Dei's mission and ministry but you also give above 10% of your income. You are sold out for the cause of Christ, and you see your financial resources as opportunities for Kingdom Building by giving courageously.

Funds

All undesignated gifts go towards Gloria Dei's General Fund here in Nassau Bay, which covers all related operating expenses so that the church can fulfill its mission of "Helping more people live life with Jesus every day."

Gloria Dei's Endowment Fund is building a legacy to help finance our long-term mission and ministry efforts and help ensure that we can continue to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to future generations.
