Giving at LifeChurch.tv
Financial giving at LifeChurch.tv can generally be divided into two categories: tithes and offerings. The Bible teaches us that we worship the Lord with our tithe, which is ten percent of our income contributed to the church on a regular basis. You can learn more about tithes here. When we feel called to give over and above our tithe, we do so as an offering.
When you choose to give an offering and would like to direct it to a specific area, you can select any of those listed below.
General
Offerings marked for general usage are applied where they are needed most within the LifeChurch.tv ministry. Determinations are made after prayerful consideration by church leadership.
Digital Missions
In our increasingly connected world, we have the opportunity to reach more people than ever with the message of Christ. By giving to Digital Missions, you're leveraging technology to "go and make disciples" in new ways: creating a church experience that's as close as someone's computer, developing a Bible that people can access on their phone, equipping the global church with free resources, removing language barriers for international ministry, and more. It's not about the tools we use, but about bringing Christ into people's everyday lives, both near and far.
Learn MoreCompassion
Bringing help and hope to people is a tangible expression of God's love. Compassion offerings fight poverty, provide crisis relief, and bring freedom to the oppressed. As we meet individuals at their point of need, we communicate an eternal truth: that every person on this earth matters to God.
Learn MoreSpaces & Places
When Christ changes a life dramatically, people take note. And when it happens to person after person in a community, a movement of God takes place. Spaces & Places offerings provide fertile ground for this kind of growth... new locations, new experiences, and new facilities.
