Money and church can be a touchy issue – but it doesn’t have to be. We don’t give because God needs our money, and we don’t give because the church needs our money. It’s much bigger than that. We give because God asks us to, and following through with it shows that we trust Him.

God knows that your loyalty is found where your money is spent (Matthew 6:19-21). Because God wants to be first in our lives, he asks us to trust Him with our money.For Christians, tithing (a word meaning ‘tenth’) is the starting point. Tithing is giving the first 10% of our income back to the local church. If you call KCC your home, we encourage you to give generously, knowing that your money is being used to support the mission of Jesus Christ – both here in Grand Rapids and around the world.
