Tithes and Offerings – Copeland Presbyterian Church

In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive”. Acts 20:35

At Copeland Presbyterian Church we recognize that giving to the work of the Lord is a Holy thing. The Lord gave us this world to be stewards of it. When a person gives to a church, they should expect that their gift will be used to do God’s work.

At Copeland Church, we believe we should make the same commitment that individuals are asked to make in the Bible. Yes, we have a payroll to meet, buildings to maintain, and bills to pay. But we commit ourselves to give at least ten percent of our budget to our missions, just as individuals are asked to give ten percent in the scripture. Let’s use as much of our resources as we can to do God’s work.

When you give a gift to Copeland Presbyterian Church, you can be assured that your gift will be used to do God’s work. Whether it’s our internal missions like our backpack ministry or our support for missions beyond our walls like the Presbyterian Home for Children, your generous gifts allow us to continue doing God’s work in the world. We thank you for your support of God’s work and may God bless you!
