The Impact Of Your Generosity
When you give to Willow, you give through Willow to show God’s love in practical ways locally and globally, living out the Good News of Jesus and helping people take their next steps with Him.
Living generously
When you realize everything you have is a gift from God, something shifts. The grace, love, and forgiveness Jesus offers are unearned and unconditional. Just as God’s heart toward us is generous, our response can be, too! Living generously is simply moving from a “this is mine” mindset to saying “God has given this to me to steward.” Giving to the church is a way you can use what God has given you to bring hope, compassion, justice, and love to our world.

About Tithing
How you spend your money often reveals what you value. Tithing is a biblical principle where God calls us to give the first 10% of our income back to Him, we call this a “Christ-first Giver.” Its a way to establish priority in your finances and trust God that He will continue to provide.
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”—Malachi 3:10 NIV
