Blessed to be a blessing

Giving

We are church with a vision to bless our community. Thank you for your love for God and people.

The Big Question

Why Give?

We don't give because God needs our money. Everything already belongs to God. We give because we are made in God's image, and God is a giver.


God wants people everywhere to experience his goodness in all its fullness, so he has offered himself to us in the gift of his Son, Jesus Christ. The Bible says that anyone who receives Jesus' sacrifice for our sin receives the favour, blessing, and presence of God. God wants people to know Jesus and experience his goodness. And so do we. That's why we give. We are aiming our resources at bringing God's good news to our city and beyond.


If you call Temple Baptist Church your home, or you simply want to partner with us in God's life-giving work here, give as the Lord leads you. And thank you for your generosity.


Your Giving Journey

  • Relative Giver

    2 CORINTHIANS 9:6-8


    A Relative Giver is someone who is beginning to think about their giving in relation to other things they spend their money on. So for example, this type of giver begins asking the question, “Why am I giving more to my cell phone provider than I am giving to God? Should I be giving to God more than I give for my mortgage each month?” This giver starts to make their giving an intentional choice that reflects how they feel about it in relation to other things they spend their money on.



  • Regular Giver

    2 CORINTHIANS 8:7-15


    A Regular Giver is someone who decides to give something and to give it on a regular basis. This often requires planning, and sometimes this might be a reason for someone to setup reoccurring gifts online or to become disciplined with giving through regular envelopes or cheques.

  • Relational Giver

    LUKE 14:28-35


    A Relational Giver is someone who begins to make CHANGES that COST them something in their lifestyle. A Relational Giver begins to ask the question, “Am I giving in a way that changes me? Am I giving in a way that is offering up to God that which costs me something of myself? Am I giving in a way that causes my lifestyle to be different to reflect the heart of Christ?”

  • Radical Giver

    2 SAMUEL 24:18-25


    A Radical Giver is someone who is thinking about the longer tail of generosity rather than just the shorter term of month-to-month generosity or even year-to-year. A Radical Giver makes decisions in the short term that have longer term effects as it relates to their generosity capacity. They think of what home they buy, what car they purchase, how much savings they choose to keep, all in relation to their generosity capacity. A Radical Giver is now asking the question, “God, how much are you asking me to give?”



  • Legacy Giver

    1 TIMOTHY 6:6-19


    A Legacy Giver is asking the question, “God, how much are you asking me to keep?” They ask this so that they can release the rest into Kingdom purposes.

God wants people everywhere to experience his goodness in all its fullness, so he has offered himself to us in the gift of his Son Jesus Christ.
