Generosity Journey
The Generosity Journey helps us see how God can use our resources to build His Kingdom and shape our hearts to be more like His. This tool focuses on the condition of our hearts further transforming us into the likeness of Christ. Each step of the journey represents growth in a lifestyle of generosity and sacrifice. These are not steps you slowly ascend to get to God, but rather a way to evaluate your growth in generosity. The Apostle Paul encourages us to grow in every facet of our walk with Christ, including the grace of giving (2 Corinthians 8:7).
Initial Giver
This type of giver is someone who decides to give for the first time. This is someone who decides to give something and trusts God and the church leaders with their gift.
Consistent Giver
This type of giver is someone who decides to give something and does so on a consistent basis. This often requires planning, and sometimes this might be a reason for someone to set up recurring gifts online or to become disciplined in giving through the weekly offering. Take this step boldly because of who God is and what He has done!
Significant Giver
This type of giver transforms their giving into a disciplined, intentional act of obedience. They ask questions like, “How might tithing impact my faith, trust in God, or financial habits? Should tithing come before paying bills, debts, or saving?” It’s a journey from offering God something consistently to faithfully tithing — giving a dime of every dollar earned to Him. Take this step with unyielding devotion because of who God is and what He has done!
Sacrificial Giver
This type of giver begins to ask questions like, “Am I giving in a way that changes me? Am I giving in a way that causes my lifestyle to be different to reflect the transformation Jesus is making in me?” This giver no longer asks, “God, how much are You asking me to give?” but boldly asks, “God, how much are You asking me to keep?” They release the rest for Kingdom purposes, making a lifetime or long-term giving commitment that shapes their major decisions—homes, cars, investments, and beyond. Take this step with unwavering conviction because of who God is and what He has done!
