At LECI, we believe that giving is an act of worship and a joyful response to God’s incredible generosity toward us. It’s less about funding an institution and more about partnering in the work God is doing in our community and across the world. The Bible is filled with wisdom and promises regarding the heart behind giving.
Sacrificially
Mark 12:33-43 (NIV)
Proportionally

Regularly
1 Corinthians 16:2 (NIV)
Cheerfully

These scriptures remind us that giving is a spiritual discipline that transforms our own hearts and fuels God’s work on Earth.

Traditionally, a “tithe” (meaning “a tenth”) refers to giving 10% of one’s income back to God. An “offering” is a gift given above and beyond the tithe. We encourage everyone to seek God in prayer about what level of giving is right for them, following the principle of cheerful and generous giving found in 2 Corinthians.
We offer several ways to give:
During Services: Place cash or checks in the offering baskets during our weekend services.
