Generosity
Your Gifts Change Lives!
Through God’s grace, we are the hands and feet of Christ to each other, sharing in worship and the study of the Word, serving our neighbors as ourselves, and praying with and for one another.
"My philosophy of generosity to the church is this: giving is a voluntary response of gratitude. As a Christian, giving to the church is quite simply an irresistible and tangible expression of gratitude for the limitless generosity of God in Jesus Christ"
~The Rev. Dr. R. Leigh Spruill, rector
