Christian Generosity

Christian believers are motivated to be generous in response to God’s lavish generosity to us in the gospel. This ‘gospel generosity’ comes when Christians truly understand the ultimate generosity of God in the death of his Son, who though he was rich, yet for our sakes became poor, so that through his poverty we might become rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). Knowing Jesus frees us to be joyfully generous - with our time, energy, resources, and money.

Why Give to Moorlands Church?

At Moorlands we rarely mention money in our meetings, unless it happens to be in the Bible passage for that week, nor do we take a weekly collection. One reason for this is that such practices can be confusing and embarrassing to newcomers and we want to be clear that we are not interested in them for their money, but so that they can understand the word of God.

However the Bible is clear that those who benefit from the ministry of the local church - that is, those who consider themselves partners, and those who attend regularly - have the primary responsibility before God for funding the church (see for example Galatians 6, 1 Corinthians 9).

Our main expenses are staff wages, building maintenance costs, general administrative costs, and support for our mission partners. We would ask everyone who attends Moorlands regularly to consider giving financially, in accordance with their means, to support and grow the work of the church.
