God is our provider. He promises in Matthew 6:33 to provide for our needs. The Bible teaches that everything we have comes from God and belongs to Him. Psalm 24:1 says, “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” Therefore, we are stewards of what God has given to us, and our finances should be a tool to help people find and follow Jesus.

By definition, the word “tithe” means one tenth of one’s income that is given to the church to support their work. When you tithe, you give one-tenth or 10% of your earnings. We first see tithing in the Old Testament when Abraham gave one-tenth of his war-earnings to the high priest. In the New Testament, Jesus talks about financial stewardship of as an indication of trustworthiness with spiritual things. Everything we have belongs to God and our tithe is giving back to God what is already His for the investment of reaching more people with Jesus’ message of hope.

Tithing (10%) is the starting point of giving. Offerings are gifts given above the tithe.

We recognize that Jesus talked more about giving than He did on any other subject. Matthew 6:21 says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Together, we work as a church to reach the lost. Malachi 3:10 says, “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.” The storehouse today is the local church you are attending. By partnering our monies together, God’s work is done more effectively.

Each week, people in central South Dakota are finding and following Jesus through New Life Church. Through the faithful giving of people in our church community, we are able to help people in need, provide discipleship that allows people to grow in their faith, and invite people to find a relationship with Jesus that changes their lives. We believe God has incredible plans for using our church as a tool for light in our region, and we are grateful for your prayer and financial generosity that makes it possible!

Your gifts are used to fund God’s work through the ministry the church. We do this through our weekend services for adults and kids, and through our support of local and worldwide partners. We can accomplish more together than we can separately. You can visit our Kingdom Builders book to learn more about the missionaries we support and our 2023 Kingdom Builders projects.

The Lord asks us to be faithful regardless of how much He has entrusted to us, and to trust Him regardless the circumstances. Luke 16:10 says "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." We at New Life understand that there are times of extreme financial hardships, and we want you to know that giving is not a requirement to attend New Life Church. However, we also know through our own journeys that it is when we are having financial struggles that we can't afford not to tithe and here's why: God wants us to trust Him in everything, including our finances. When God asks us to tithe it reminds us to continue to reach out to others and to trust in His provision in all things. Luke 12:24 tells us "Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!" As we grow in our relationship with Christ, it always requires faith. Trust God by giving to Him even when it seems impossible and allow Him to show you His provision for your life.
