Faith Promise Giving

The Faith Promise Offering is a free will offering which we collect throughout the year which helps provide the finances to support our worldwide missions program. Missions involves the training, equipping, sending, and supporting of personnel who devote their time to preaching the Gospel and planting churches in the regions beyond our local church ministry. These individuals are called missionaries who are sent forth by the local churches.

What Does “Faith Promise” Giving Mean?

The Faith Promise method of giving is described in detail in II Corinthians 8, 9, and 10.

First, it is a promise to God.

This is NOT a pledge to a church. A pledge is something a person agrees upon guaranteeing liability of collection in case of nonperformance. This offering, however, is a promise which is made between the giver and God. It is a promise to give a certain amount which God leads the giver to make on a weekly basis to the missionary program of their church. Such a promise helps set a systematic goal for the donor.

Second, it is an act of Faith.

Believers often think about exercising faith in various areas of needs and service, but not many ever consider that giving should be done by faith also. The Bible informs us “that whatsoever is not of faith is sin”. So, when we give by faith, we are simply trusting and believing God to supply the amount He impresses upon our heart to promise. Additionally, it is trusting and believing God to meet our needs in absence of that which we give to Him.

Third, it is a free will offering for others.

The offering being dealt with in II Corinthians 8 was given willingly by those within a local church with the intention of it being distributed to those in another area of the world. The purest possible exercise of this principle is given with the intent of evangelizing the world. The purpose of this type of offering is totally for others.

Fourth, it is a promise for a year.

Each year in January, our church has its annual “Missions Conference”. As our hearts are impressed by God, we pray and determine what we will give through out the following 12 months to support the church’s mission program. In essence, we promise God that we will faithfully give an offering, above our tithe, for the entire year!
