Give
Giving cheerfully and sacrificially of our finances is part of our worship here at CA Church.
2 Corinthians 9:7 calls on us to be cheerful givers and Proverbs 3:9 calls on us to give God our firstfruits. We call our congregation to give, not by meeting some obligatory percentage, but gladly sacrificing for the sake of the Gospel because Jesus sacrificed for us.
