Why Should We Give Generously?

God has set an amazing example of generosity to us by sending His Son to die for us. (John 3 v 16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son…”) Throughout scripture we see God's generous nature - He loves to bless and reward His children.

We believe that everything we have belongs to God (Psalm 24 v 1 “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.”) Everything we have has been entrusted to us to be managed according to His principles. How we do this reveals the attitudes of our heart. (Matthew 6 v 21 “Where your treasure is, there your heart is also.”)

Regular giving (tithing) allows us the opportunity to put God first financially, giving back to Him that which He has entrusted to us, and our offerings, which are over and above our regular giving, should come from a grateful heart in thanksgiving and worship.

All donations received are used for the running costs of our buildings, salaries, administration and the vital works in our community and abroad supporting missions.

So How Can You Be Generous?

There are a number of ways you can give generously to the work of Eldad Elim Church.  Choose whichever way is easiest for you to do on a regular basis.

Give a little more - for free!

Your financial donations can be increased by allowing us to reclaim Gift Aid if you are a tax payer.

If you give a minimum of £10 every week or £42 every calendar month or £500 in a calendar year and you pay income tax to Guernsey then we can claim some or all of the income tax you have paid back.  All it takes is for you to print this Gift Aid Form, at the end of the tax year, complete it and hand it to the treasurer.

If you like the maths, it means that a £500 donation effectively becomes at £625 donation and every additional £10 becomes £12.50, and all you need to do is make the donation and complete the Gift Aid Form - simples!

If you have any questions on giving generously, then please do get in touch.
