When we obey God and give, He blesses our storehouse and the work of our hands...
God has given us a wonderful opportunity to give back to Him through our tithes and offerings. His Word includes promise after promise of the blessings He will pour down on us as we are faithful with our time, talents, and finances.
At Joy, we encourage anyone who considers Joy their church home to follow the Biblical practice of tithing, or giving 10% of your income back to God. If you are a new visitor to Joy, we want you to be blessed by the worship gathering and to give as God inspires you. Giving brings us so much joy and we are "Blessed to be a Blessing."
You can give to Joy in the weekend offering, via Simply Giving (a simple and convenient way to have your giving taken directly from your checking/savings accounts, or by making an online payment.
To sign up for Simply Giving, you can download this form and either mail it to Joy, bring it by the church office, or put it in the offering basket on the weekend.
Stewardship
Stewardship is defined as "using God-given abilities to manage God-owned properties to attain God-ordained results."
The Lord owns all of our possessions—as stewards, we simply manage and administer things on His behalf. He entrusts possessions to us and then holds us accountable for their use. The recognition that God owns it all is crucial in allowing Jesus Christ to become the Lord of our money and possessions.
