GIVING
God's people have always been characterized by giving, but the way they've given has changed over time. For example, people no longer bring goats, sheep, calves and grain to God as they did in the Old Testament. Giving money is simpler, cleaner and more theologically sound since Jesus has made the ultimate sacrifice. As the way that money is exchanged changes, we at Hopkins Community Church are extending members a new way to offer their financial gifts to God.
Anyone who would like to give to Hopkins Community Church online is welcome to do so through our church app, Church Center (by Planning Center). The system makes it easy to quickly transfer money from a bank account or credit/debit card to the church safely and securely. One-time gifts and recurring withdrawals can both be set up, and gifts can be given either to the church's general fund or a specific church project.
For those who prefer to give by cash or check, we will continue to receive these gifts in person in any of the offering boxes that are set up in the church foyer.
Giving is an important aspect of the Christian life. After all, Luke records that Jesus himself said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35). At Hopkins Community Church, we want to encourage all members to pray about giving and to give as God leads them. For those who prefer an online way to give, the church now offers one.
Download the Church Center app from your mobile device's app store (Apple or Android) and proceed to set up your personal profile so that you can make an online offering, or feel free to contact the Kathy in the church office for help with your giving through the site.
