New Sandy Creek has provided an online giving feature as a convenient way to allow you to support our mission and ministries with your tithes and offerings. Giving online is one of two options we currently provide. Contribution envelopes are available for those who wish to give in a more traditional manner by bringing their tithes and offerings to the church and giving either during Worship Services or during our Sunday School hour. Currently cash or personal checks are accepted. Whether giving online or in person we remind you that giving is an act of worship to the Lord. Just as He has provided a physical structure for us to come and assemble together each week for corporate worship and fellowship, the Lord has also provided us with the means to utilize technology for those who would participate by giving financially when they are not physically able to be with us in a corporate worship setting. The Bible teaches us that everything belongs to God. Because He created all things, He owns all things. “The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein” (Psalm 24:1) God owns it all: “For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the hills, and all that moves in the field is mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and its fullness are mine. (Psalm 50:10-12). More importantly, though, it does us well to remember that He owns each of us who claim Him as Lord and Master: For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. (1 Corinthians 6:20). Recognizing that all things belong to God we also realize that He has given each of us charge or stewardship over some of His possessions. In His Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30), the Lord Jesus makes it clear that we will ultimately be held accountable for how we use the resources that our Lord has entrusted to us. We can wisely use His resources to advance His Kingdom, for which He will regard us as faithful, or we can squander His resources in worldly pursuits and He will certainly judge us as unfaithful. We have selected Easy Tithe® to provide our online giving service. You can make your contributions … EASILY …SAFELY …SECURELY, using your debit or credit card. Simply click on the “Give Now” button below and you will be directed to a page where you can complete your transaction. You will have the option of making a one-time gift or a recurring contribution. Please note that a standard 3% Bank Processing Fee is incurred for each online transaction, so we ask that you prayerfully consider offsetting that fee with a slight increase in your donation. We greatly appreciate your financial gifts.
