A Personal Commitment Guide

Your financial commitment should be the result of a meaningful, spiritual journey. This personal commitment guide will help you to take your first steps. Use this guide to connect with God by discovering God’s will and by offering your full potential to fulfill God’s desire.

DELIBERATE with God

Prayerfully seek God’s leadership. Ask God to shape your decisions. Walk through the doors God opens for you!

DISCOVER God’s Purpose for Your Church and God’s Will for You

What is God calling this church to do and to be? How is God working through your church to affect people’s lives? How would God work through you to make a difference in ministry?

DISCUSS What You are Learning with Others

Include your family in the discovery and decision-making process. Talk with and learn from the experience and example of others.

DEFINE a Sense of Sacrifice in Your Life

What decisions and priorities could you make in your life to further invest yourself in your church? How can you give in ways that make a difference to you?

DETERMINE Your Potential for Giving

Think outside the income-stream box. Capital giving may include new strategies for giving. Inventory your blessings and your potential for increased giving.

DECIDE on a Personal Giving Plan

There are multiple methods for giving in a capital program. Capital giving might include any combination of weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual, one-time, and/or asset transfer gifts. Put together your own personal giving plan for the next three years to help you follow through with your commitment.

"Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints."

2 Corinthians 8:2-4
