They have suffered a great deal. But their joy was more than full. Even though they were very poor, they gave very freely. I give witness that they gave as much as they could. In fact, they gave even more than they could. Completely on their
own, they begged us for the chance to share in serving God’s people
that way.

2 Corinthians 8:2-4

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 stewardship 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.
