giving is an opportunity, not an obligation
We don't have to give. We get to give! Financial giving is a joyful privilege, and we have many good reasons for it. We do not give in order to earn salvation — we are saved by faith in Jesus alone!
​
Regardless of whether you give or how much you give during this season of your life, know that God loves you unconditionally and will continue to provide everything you need. (Luke 21:1-4)
Why We Give
And why it matters
1 / We are called as God's faithful people to give generously
2 Corinthians 9:6-11
2 / We actively worship and love God through our giving
2 Corinthians 9:12-13
3 / We sacrificially and personally invest in the Gospel mission through our giving
Matthew 6:21
4 / We actively trust God to provide for us, rather than ourselves or our finances
1 Timothy 6:17-19
How immanuel Uses Your giving
Immanuel acknowledges that we own nothing. Everything belongs to God Himself. He has simply entrusted us to faithfully use these resources to carry out His will and mission.

There are many ways in which God’s resources are used through our church:
-
Staff compensation
-
Property maintenance
-
Children’s and Youth Ministry
-
Funding local and international missionaries
-
Community outreach
-
Community service projects
-
And many more!
Thanks to your generosity and commitment, Immanuel will continue to use these gifts carefully and faithfully in order to fulfill its calling to reach the people of Oceanside for the Gospel for generations to come!
