Give — Maple Grove Christian Church
Generosity

Give as an
act of worship.

Giving at Maple Grove isn't about keeping the lights on. It's about being part of something bigger than yourself — trusting God with what he's already given you.

"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
2 Corinthians 9:7

Why we give

Generosity is
a spiritual practice.

The Bible doesn't talk about giving as a financial transaction — it talks about it as a matter of the heart. What we do with our money reveals what we actually trust.

At Maple Grove, we believe that giving is one of the most concrete ways we can say, "God, I trust you." It loosens the grip of the things we tend to hold too tightly, and it connects us to work that matters long after we're gone.

We never want anyone to feel pressured. Giving is always a personal decision between you and God. But we also don't want to hide the fact that generosity is genuinely good for you — and that it makes a real difference here.

"Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing."
Proverbs 3:9–10
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth... But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven."
Matthew 6:19–20
"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this... and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven."
Malachi 3:10
Where it goes

Your gift at work.

We want to be good stewards of what you give. Here's where your generosity goes.

🏡

Local Ministry & Community

Sunday worship, teaching, kids' ministry, student ministry, small groups, and the everyday work of building a church community that genuinely cares for one another.

🌍

Missions

We partner with missionaries and organizations taking the gospel beyond Bloomington — locally, nationally, and around the world. Your giving extends our reach further than we could go alone.

⚙️

Ministry Operations

The practical things that make ministry possible — facilities, staff, resources, and tools so we can keep showing up every Sunday and serving our neighbors well.
