1 Corinthians 9:6-8 reminds us of the blessings of giving when we give cheerfully.

Proverbs 3:9 and Deuteronomy 18:4 encourage us to give first for God's work. (By the way, auto debit giving is an easy to make sure God's work is accomplished first in your budget!)

Matthew 6:19-24 has instruction from Jesus about storing up heavenly treasure instead of earthly.

Malachi 3:8-10 teaches how important the tithe (giving 10%) is and how God's blessings flow from our generosity.

Matthew 25:14-30 is a parable (a short teaching story) that Jesus uses to remind us how important it is to use wisely what God has trusted to us.

1 Timothy 6:17-19 also reminds us to avoid materialism and focus on God's work.

We take seriously the trust people have placed in the church so each year the budget is created in an open process where anyone can make suggestions. That budget is then reviewed and approved by the church council and forwarded to the entire congregation for their inspection, prayer and vote. In the end, it's the congregation's best discernment of how God wants us to use the funds with which we're entrusted. A fully transparent system of checks and balances with church council monthly reporting and quarterly congregational reporting assures proper use of those funds, including a complete audit each year.
