Giving Plan

Where Should You Give?


The Bible does not spell in detail where we should give, but we can discern certain guidelines for our
giving.

1. We should give to the local church. The local church is God’s unique institution in the world. It
is our opportunity to provide for those leading the church (1 Timothy 5:17-18) and to support its’
missionaries (Philippians 4:15-19).

2. We should also give to the poor. God has a special concern for those in need (Matthew 25:34-
40), as well as widows and orphans ( James 1:27). Beyond these priorities, there are also many
organizations and individuals worthy of support.
