THROUGH YOUR GIVING, WE SERVE OTHERS...
At City of Hope International Church, we believe that the Lord’s work is a shared responsibility. As we work diligently serving our community and beyond, we are sustained by generous and consistent giving. This scriptural practice is a cornerstone to meeting our goals and missions. The following five principles guide our giving:
​
1. The Lord expects us to give. (Matt. 6:2; Exodus 25:1)
2. Giving is an act of worship. (I Cor. 16:2)
3. Giving should be done in light of Jesus’ costly sacrifice. (II Cor. 8:9)
4. Christians should give in accordance with their means. (II Cor. 8; I Cor. 16:2)
5. God's liberality to us is connected to the liberality of our giving. (II Cor. 9; Matt. 6:4)

Tithe
​
Biblical tithing refers to the practice of giving one tenth of one’s income for the work of God. As messaged in the Scriptures, we believe tithing is a response of gratitude and an obligation.
"Free-Will" Offering
​
A love offering is a voluntary sacrifice as opposed to one given out of vow or consequence. Generally, it is given above and beyond a person’s tithe. It is not to be given grudgingly or under constraint, but given cheerfully before the Lord, whereas it is the overflow expression of Gods active grace in our lives.
