A big range of caring, administration and organization is found at Valley. Caring cards, one on one meet ups, administrative support, and leadership development all help us express the love of God and grow our church. God doesn’t want something FROM you; he wants something FOR you. Giving to your church is an investment in building God’s Kingdom that helps you experience irrational generosity. The Bible repeatedly teaches that the baseline standard for giving is the tithe. Jesus talked about generosity all the time. When we give the first 10% of our income we put God first in our lives and God blesses the rest. Tithing is an act of worship that expresses our gratitude, faith, and love for others. That’s something to live FOR!

FOR GOD. FOR PEOPLE. FOR A CHANGE.
Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.� Ephesians 5:1-2
