God so loved the world that He gave.
John 3:16
Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:24, we simply cannot serve two masters. Cheerfully giving places Jesus as our primary and only focus and material belongings and wants become submissive. We know giving changes lives and allows us to invest in eternity. You can be obedient today by giving online. There is no other person, business or charitable organization with more potential to change the world than the local church!
Ways To Give
Here are some easy ways to support our church.
Give Online
Between paying bills, running errands, and remembering birthdays and anniversaries, giving can easily get put on the back burner.
The truth is, it doesn’t have to be this way. You can literally schedule your next gift in two minutes. Go ahead, give it a go; it is both very secure and easy to set up.
Text To Give
“Text any amount to 84321 to give*” That’s all the information you need to get started. Setup takes about two minutes, tops. After that, donating is as simple as sending a text. To change payment method simply text the word “stop” to 84321 and that will allow a change in payment method on your next contribution. It’s the easiest, most spontaneous way to donate!
Give In Person
During weekly Sunday assembly, we offer a traditional giving format. After the Lord’s Supper, we pass baskets throughout the assembly to take contribution. Simply place your cash or checks into the basket as it is passed through your aisle.
You can also mail checks to Northview Church of Christ at 2615 Amity Hill Road, Statesville, NC 28677
FAQs
