“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or
imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be
glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations,
for ever and ever! Amen”
Ephesians 3:19-21 |

Elk River Nazarene Church has become the
church that many of us call home. Each ministry has in some way
touched your life, and made your walk with the Lord stronger.
However, as with all homes we have financial needs. These needs can
hinder us as a church from continuing to offer connection points to
others who are seeking what we have found at
"The River."
The Bible offers us guidelines for giving
by teaching the tithe or the giving of the first 10 percent of what
we earn to God for God’s work. For some, out of necessity, the
giving of the tenth is a goal they grow toward. For others, it is
the starting point, and they give in excess of this. The important
thing is that your start somewhere and that your giving be in
proportion to your income. If you are not yet tithing, consider
taking the step.
-
Giving is an expression of gratitude
and praise to God.
-
Giving blesses the giver in a host of
ways.
-
Giving is an act of faith and
demonstrates faithfulness, ownership and a belonging to the
church family at The River.
-
Giving makes a difference – your
tithes and offerings are used by God through the Church to
change, transform and renew lives locally.
-
God is honored by our giving.
-
The Church and it ministries are made
possible by your giving.
It is through tithing that we honor God
and we are able to share the Gospel through the various connection
points at
"The River."
