GIVING
Here at Elevation Chapel we don't give out of duty, obligation, or guilt. We don't give because we have to, we give because we want to. We give from hearts filled with love, thankfulness, and gratitude for this Life that God has given us. We give so that we can participate in God's beautiful work of redeeming mankind, one person at a time. And by giving financially, you help us Give Life to those around us and throughout the world - the Life that comes from pursuing a relationship with Jesus - the Life that comes when you realize Jesus is pursuing you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS A TITHE AND HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM AN OFFERING?
A “tithe” literally means a tenth or 10%. A tithe is the first 10% of your income. An offering is anything you give above and beyond the 10%.
WHY DO WE TITHE?
The Bible tells us that tithing teaches us to always put God first in our lives. (Deuteronomy 14:22) Tithing helps us remember that everything we have comes from God. It is also God’s personal invitation to an outpouring of His blessing in your life. In Malachi 3:10 God says:
"Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in!"
This is the only place in Scripture where God asks us to put Him to the test. God loves a cheerful giver because He himself is a cheerful giver!
