About Giving at Living Hope
A core aspect of Christian discipleship is generosity, rooted in the Biblical truth that God owns everything, as expressed in Psalm 24:1: “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.”
As members of Living Hope, your generosity is the cornerstone of our ministries. Your donations, accounting for over 80% of our operating income, are vital in sustaining our spiritual programs and expanding our community impact. This collective support allows us to build the Kingdom of God, both near and far.

Financial Gifts
The leadership of Living Hope Community Church is so grateful for the continued blessing of an abundantly supported ministry.
Every year, we see God provide for a fully-funded budget, not through the support of a select few, but through the faithful gifts, large and small, of each member of our church community.
Thank you for supporting this work for His kingdom!
Prayerfully Consider Your Tithe and Offering
If you’re new to Living Hope or the concept of tithing, it simply means giving ‘a tenth’ of your income. God asks us to return this portion to support His work, reminding us that He is trustworthy and will provide for our needs. While the local church is often the most direct way to support mission and ministry, there are many opportunities to give back. We encourage those who are not currently tithing to try it and experience the joy of seeing God’s work unfold.
