Giving
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
- Matthew 6:21
Why we give.
Northstar Church is supported entirely by the generous giving of our members and regular attenders. This is a resource page mainly for members and regular attenders. We believe that as followers of Christ, our generous giving through offerings and ministry support is an act of joyful obedience and loving worship.

Giving Guidelines
Give Cheerfully
Give cheerfully! (2 Corinthians 9:7) We want your heart in it more than we want your gift. (We obviously are grateful for your gift!) But your motive for giving is deeply important for your full blessing. Give with thanks. Give with joy. Give with humility. Give in recognition of all that God has done for you
Give Proportionally
(1 Corinthians 16:2, Malachi 3:10) The Old Testament principle is the tithe – 10%. Our church even practices this by giving away 10% of our expenses budget to other ministries and partners. The important thing is to give proportionally to how God is blessing and providing. And to also give in faith that He will provide! You’ll notice that as you give proportionally and regularly (our next point) that there will come a time that you don’t “notice” how much you’re giving. In those moments, consider whether you should increase or reevaluate your giving.
Give Regularly
(1 Corinthians 16:2) We encourage you to make a habit on days that you pay your bills of allowing your first check/payment to be your offering. It reflects your heart and priority. It makes a statement to yourself – that God has provided and that you want to thank Him for what He’s done. Giving regularly helps Northstar and other ministries to plan better, to be able to budget wisely, and it helps you not “spend first and give what’s left.”
Give Sacrificially
(2 Corinthians 8:2-5) There are times that God will call you to give more. To break your ingrained habit of giving a set amount to give more. To give above and beyond. And even to do without something you may enjoy in order to give something extravagant. This is done as God moves in your life on occasion to call you to give significantly.

The joy of check writing
While allowing technology to serve you is certainly convenient, don’t neglect the joy of sitting down and manually writing out that check on occasion. In that simple “offline” process, you will experience the joy of generosity and blessing others. Thank you for your kind support of Northstar’s ministries!
