Giving at WCC

God is the abundant giver of good gifts from providing our very life and the air we breathe to making a way for us to be in a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. We give because we first received so much from God.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. – James 1:17

What to Know

Giving a percentage of our income as a gift to support God’s work in the church is often called a tithe.

Giving reminds us that everything we have comes from God and that we trust God to provide for all our needs.

Giving benefits the giver even more than the receiver.

Every financial gift you give to WCC goes directly to help fund the programs and services we provide both to those who call WCC their church home and to our community. Thank you for choosing to give to WCC!

Does this really honor God?

Many people feel that if giving is not done in the midst of a worship service, then it is somehow insignificant. The primary principle in giving is to be cheerful. The joy of giving comes from the faithfulness of people offering back to God some of the resources He has blessed them with. The method of giving is an individual choice. The ease and consistency of using online giving may help you meet your giving goals.
