Generosity
The practice of generosity is living like disciples who trust the God of abundance.
By giving like stewards who tithe to God’s kingdom.

Building Our Home Peace by Piece
Two goals in two years.
For years we’ve set up and torn down every Sunday in a junior high. In July 2025 we bought five acres on Germann Road — the first piece of a permanent home for this church.
The first goal isn’t a dollar figure. It’s 100% participation — every household playing a part, financially, prayerfully, or both. The second is $2.5 million over two years, a number our Stewardship Team arrived at after reviewing years of giving trends, financial projections, and the real costs of building. That two-year window began in May 2026.
That $2.5 million won’t finish the building. It lets us begin.
- Goal one
- 100% participation
- Goal two
- $2.5M in two years
began May 2026 - Half of it
- Rent, staff,
growing ministries - The other half
- Building our
permanent home - The land
- 5 acres on Germann Rd
acquired July 2025
Two goals, one fund
Rather than asking you to split your giving between a regular budget and a separate building fund, every gift goes into a single fund that supports both the ministry we have today and the home we’re building for tomorrow. One gift. Both goals. Nothing to choose between.
Why We Give
Four convictions underneath the practice.
01 Disciples, Not Donors Jesus isn’t interested in creating donors who give legalistically and stubbornly, but in making disciples who give joyfully and abundantly.
Fewer sins are as deep-rooted and hard to detect as greed. Not many of us would admit to being greedy or materialistic, but greed, by default, lives inside each one of us. Jesus makes this clear in Luke 11 when he confronts the Pharisees who hid their greed from others and projected generosity instead. While they appeared holy and generous on the outside, Jesus calls out their inner attachment to money.
To Jesus, greed is a poison. And yet, Jesus offers us a solution. The only antidote to the invisible poison of greed is the visible practice of generosity. Our goal is to become disciples, not donors, who practice generosity as a way to keep our greed away from our souls. We redirect our worship towards God by holding our money and wealth so loosely that we give freely, because we trust in the God of abundance.

02 Abundance, Not Scarcity Your perception of reality is running (and often ruining) your practice of generosity.
Like all our beliefs, the attitudes and dispositions we have toward money are largely shaped by our past – our family of origin, our cultural background, and our church experiences. In Luke’s gospel, we see at least 4 different ways of viewing money. Like the Rich Fool in Luke 12, some of us believe that the good life is found when we hoard the most for ourselves. Others of us live more like the Rich Young Ruler in Luke 18; we falsely assume that God will always bless us financially as a reward for our faithfulness. Or we doubt God’s generosity towards us altogether and live more like the Older Brother in Luke 15. But in Luke 21, we see a picture of someone who really trusts in the God of abundance and not in the uncertainty of wealth. A widow, giving all that she has, is commended by Jesus as a picture of what true generosity looks like. We too can reshape how we view money and the way we give by reorienting our minds around the truths of scripture, reshaping our habits to reflect generosity, and participating in a community of Jesus-followers committed to doing the same.

03 Stewards, Not Owners You can stew on your money, or you can steward your money.
In Luke 16, Jesus tells a perplexing parable. It’s a story of a dishonest manager who uses his master’s wealth to serve those around him. While Jesus’ doesn’t praise the manager’s dishonesty, he credits his ingenuity. This manager saw himself as a steward, not an owner, of his master’s possessions. When we examine our own perceptions regarding our money, most of us view ourselves as owners — we are the sole owners of our money, wealth, and material possessions. But the way of Jesus is the way of stewardship. By seeing ourselves as stewards of all of the things God has blessed us with rather than owners, we’re free to live generously. At the tail end of this parable, Jesus makes a startling claim: if you trust God with fiscal matters, He will entrust you with spiritual matters. Our goal is to become a church of stewards who generously give what our Master has given us to expand the Kingdom and bring others into communion with Jesus.

04 Tithing, Not Tipping Grace grants us permission to give less but it also gives us the power to give more.
All of us have different feelings and attitudes when it comes to giving money to a local church. For some of us, it’s a regular and assumed part of our discipleship. For others, it’s a financial goal. And for others, it’s an exploitative way for churches to get more money. Regardless of how we feel about tithing, it’s difficult to be a generous person who lives out the way of Jesus without a regular rhythm of supporting the Body of Christ. In 2 Corinthians, we see a picture of what it looks like to become a community that generously tithes their money for the sake of the Kingdom. The grace of God allows them to give above and beyond what might seem possible. At Passion Creek Church, we find it helpful to think of the tithe as a starting point, not a stopping point. To practice tithing is to practice letting go of control, putting our trust in God, and participating in the Kingdom work that God has called us to.

The Abundance Graph
Four ways to relate to money.
Two questions decide where you land: are you depending on God or depending on stuff, and are you operating from scarcity or abundance?
What are you depending on?
What are you operating from?
