One of these formation practices is tithing and sacrificial giving. While there are many ways to contribute financially to God’s Kingdom, the Church is the primary means by which that kingdom is established on earth. Thus, God calls us first and foremost to be faithful in the regular, ongoing support of one’s local church body through tithes and offerings. All Saints encourages all members to adopt tithing or generous giving as a spiritual practice — that you might grow in faith and that together we might increase All Saints’ capacity to be the body of Christ in Austin for the world.
Did you know All Saints spends an average of $10,000 per member household each year on ministry in and beyond our church? The preceding pages have highlighted some of the ways the Lord has called us to minister to and through our congregation. We need your help to continue this work.
HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE:
Please visit allsaintsaustin.org/give to make tithing a regular practice.
A great first step is to complete a giving pledge at allsaintsaustin.org/pledge. 34% of member households have recorded a pledge for 2019. Will you help that number grow? Pledges help us to discern our budget capacity for the coming year and to make wise decisions regarding new ministry initiatives.
