Thank you for your ongoing commitment to supporting each other in prayer. We look forward to seeing "The Throne Room" becoming a beacon of hope and a pillar of strength for our community.

Stewardship in Giving
Navigate to Adventist Giving or give in person when the ushers pass you by.
Have you ever realized what the Bible says about giving to God? As Christians, we are called to be faithful stewards of our possessions. The Psalms say that the earth belongs to the Lord- Psalm 24:1. As good stewards, one sure way we acknowledge God’s ownership is by giving.
People say "I want to give to God, not man. So why give money in church?" First of all, God does not live physically on the earth. But He has called His church the ambassador of Christ on earth. See how Hebrews 7:8 witnesses that Jesus does receive tithes in heaven though tithes are given here on earth. "And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth." It is wisdom to realize that God recognizes and receives our giving, not men.
