There are a couple of ways to give at Water's Edge. Towards the end of each weekend gathering, we receive a traditional offering (i.e., passing of the plates or drop off boxes). Also, for your convenience, we have online giving. Giving online at WEC is simple and secure. Whether you'd like to give a single gift, or schedule ongoing giving, just click the button below to get started.

What the Bible teaches
Giving acknowledges God as the giver of everything we have (James 1:17).
Giving reflects our trust that God will provide for us (Matthew 6:19-24).
Giving allows us to be active participants in God's work on earth (2 Corinthians 9:6-7).
What does "tithe" mean?
A "tithe" means 1/10th. Specifically, Christians refer to a "tithe" as giving 10% of what we earn back to God. The tithe was required under the Old Covenant, whereas cheerful giving and generosity is the principle taught in the New Covenant. At Water's Edge, we teach tithing as a guideline in giving in order to honor God with our wealth.
