Why we give
The heart behind generosity.
God went first. So we give our first and best.
As disciples of Jesus, it’s our privilege to give. Through how we see people, meet needs, and give sacrificially, we get to demonstrate the gospel in practical ways. This is part of what it looks like to be the good news of Jesus in every place.
God gave first.
Our generosity is a response, not a transaction. God gave His only Son, and we give in light of the gospel and in discipleship to Jesus.
John 3:16 · Romans 5:8Money reveals the heart.
Where our treasure goes, our heart follows. Giving keeps money a tool in our hands rather than a god in our lives.
Matthew 6:19–21We get to give.
Generosity is worship. We give cheerfully and out of joy from our first and best, not out of guilt or obligation.
2 Corinthians 9:7We trust God’s provision.
Giving our first and best is a step of faith that God is our provider and will meet every need.
Malachi 3:10 · Philippians 4:19We give through the church.
When we give together, our gifts become far more than any of us could do alone, for the good of Denver and the glory of God.
Acts 2:44–47 · 2 Corinthians 9:11–13Your next step
Growing in generosity.
Wherever you are today, there’s a next step. Our church encourages three types of givers. If you have any questions about giving, we’d love to talk.
First-time givers
First-time givers simply commit to giving monthly. It’s a great first step to begin giving financially to CBC and to start taking steps toward tithing.
Start hereTithing givers
Tithing givers commit to giving 10% of their monthly income to CBC as their local church. It’s a principle we see throughout the Bible, and it helps us be a blessing to others.
The biblical baselineAbove & beyond givers
Above and beyond givers go past the 10% tithe to invest further in what God is building all across Denver through CBC.
