Give – Because Love Gives
At Northern Light Church, giving isn’t about money—it’s about people. God doesn’t need your wallet; He wants your heart. If you’re new here or just visiting, let us be clear: we’re not after your money—we’re after you. You matter more than any dollar ever will.
But for those who call this church home, giving is one of the ways we worship. It supports ministry, helps meet real needs, and reflects the generous heart of Jesus. The early church didn’t give out of guilt—they gave because grace had changed them.
Why We Give
We give because:
God gave first. We’re just responding.
The gospel is worth sharing, and that takes resources.
Ministry costs are real—from outreach to facility needs, helping local families, and reaching people with the hope of Christ.
Our hearts follow our investments. What we fund, we care about—and we want to care deeply about the kingdom.
We don’t give out of fear. We don’t give to earn favor. We give because we already have it—in Jesus.
