Why We Give

Good stewardship practices result in great generosity.

Why We Give

As Christians, we recognize everything we have comes from God, and we are simply sharing these gifts for Kingdom work. Through our tithes and offerings, we demonstrate in a tangible way our love for God and our neighbors. Each year, we ask our members to commit to their tithes and offerings for the coming year in support of our church’s ministry and mission.

We do this for three reasons:

  1. All we have is a gift from God, so we believe that giving to God’s work is an act of worship.
  2. At PCC, giving is an expectation of membership. The church does not specify how much an individual should give, but we hope each person will commit a percentage of their income and increase that amount as they are able.
  3. Annual giving makes possible: worship, programs for children and students, Bible studies, small groups, pastoral care and support, missions, community service, and building and operational needs.

An Approach to Giving

  • Begin with prayer. Thank God for your blessings and ask for guidance and discernment.
  • Assess your income and giving. Determine your current giving as a percentage of your income.
  • Set your giving goal. If you are not currently tithing (giving 10 percent of your income), start with a lower percentage and then plan to increase the percentage each year, growing toward the tithe. The important thing is to begin the spiritual discipline of regular, consistent giving.
  • Determine your giving method. Take a look at the ways you can give and select the option that is best for both you and the church.
  • Worship with gratitude. Fill out your 2021 annual commitment card and bring it in to worship this month. As a congregation, we will express our gratitude to God and present our cards, representing our commitment to God’s ministry through our church.

A pledge is an individual or family’s annual commitment to the church of their tithes and offerings in support of our church’s ministry, vision, and mission.

Annual pledges support all we do at Pasadena. This includes funding worship, building and operational needs, and paying our staff. We plan our ministry, vision and mission through Pasadena by relying on your financial pledges to develop next year’s budget.

You can complete a pledge at any time. Pasadena Community Church has an annual Stewardship campaign during the month of November. As a congregation, we will express our gratitude to God and present our cards, representing our commitment to God’s ministry through our church.
