Financial Life
Money is important in the world we live — often inappropriately so. At Generations Church we are learning about what it means to worship and live for God. We believe that is a holistic pursuit. Because we are human beings who have an economic life, worshiping God includes a progressive and joyful surrender of our financial life to God and his purposes in the world.The Bible teaches more about the issue of money than it does about many other topics. Having a healthy understanding of and relationship to money is critical to live life fully in the way of Jesus. For followers of Jesus giving away 10% of our resources has served as a healthy measurement of our financial life. While this number is not set in stone, and some may choose to give more, we believe the giving away of 10% of what we have control over has served as a starting point for followers of Jesus, taught in the Bible and practiced by Christians throughout history.As people who follow the God revealed by Jesus Christ, we believe we are called to a life of ever-increasing generosity. In the same way, we believe in responsible stewardship including a debt-free life.
We provide several different ways that you can participate in our financial life and needs. You can give when you worship with us on Sundays. You can send your tithe and offering by mail, please send to our parent church LFCN (we are using accounts with them at this time):

You can also give to Generations Church online, through PayPal. You don’t need a PayPal account, just a debit/check card. Please do not tithe by charging it to your credit card. Note that PayPal takes about 3% of each transaction. If you have questions, please contact Russanna Cook or Pastor Paul.
