hands touching GENEROUS living assists people in discovering the generous heart of God and the joy of becoming like him. We seek to extend a person’s love for Christ into a lifestyle of Christian stewardship and generosity.
Stewardship is the care and use of our God-given resources, including:

bullet Energy
bullet Money
bullet Thoughts

bullet Work

We have been given the opportunity to manage these resources, and it’s our responsibility to use them to the best of our abilities.

green button How does Riverlands Christian Church practice generous living?

Riverlands Christian Church places a priority on living the life of giving. And this is reflected in our financial giving - members are encouraged to 'tithe' (give 10 per cent) from all income to be used to express God’s love in practical acts of service to the greater Penrith area and beyond. As a church, we also give freely of our time, relationships, and energy.

We seek to demonstrate careful management of the church’s resources. We make financial summaries available to all contributors on an annual basis. Our books are open to church members on request.

green button How can I begin to practice living generously?

We are all at different points along the road in learning how to give freely. The biblical model is to give a percentage of our income, usually the first tenth, to the Lord. We encourage those just beginning this journey simply to pray about where to start and then grow.
