Our Theology of Giving
Money Matters. In fact, money is one of the most talked about topics in all of scripture. 11 of Jesus' 39 parables were on money, much of his teaching had to do with money, and throughout the Old Testament, money and money related problems crop up continually? I believe scripture touches on the subject as much as it does, because there is arguably nothing else in our life that competes for our attention as much as money. From the clothes on our back to the shoes on our feet to the cars we drive. Everything we do in life touches money. Because it is so prevalent, money is at risk of also being one of the greatest idols in our lives.
At FUMCTC, we believe how you make and manage your money is a spiritual matter. It's certainly not the most important spiritual matter, but it is one. So we strive to talk realistically about the grip money might have on us. And we strive to stewardship our church's money and resources in a responsible manner that brings about the greatest kingdom impact.
