Give

Legacy givers are thinking past this year and moving toward long-term impact for their local church, their family, and eternity. They make decisions in the short-term that have longer-term effects on their giving capacity. Legacy givers consider the impact that every personal asset has on their ability to be generous. This person is no longer asking the question, “God, how much are you asking me to give?” Instead, this person is asking, “God, how much are you asking me to keep?”

Someone who is no longer thinking, “What am I supposed to give?” but rather “What am I not giving and why?” This person is less concerned about the 10 or 15 percent and more concerned about the 90 or 85 percent. Sacrificial givers decide to make changes that cost them something in their lifestyle.

Intentional givers think about their giving in relation to other things they spend their money on. They consider a percentage or amount they want to consciously grow in their giving. Intentional givers look at their budget and consider how their giving reflects their view of God and commitment to build His Kingdom.

Someone who is a regular giver, giving many times through recurring payments. Consistent givers start to think of their giving in the same way they would about other expenses in their budget that are paid regardless of seasons of feast or famine. To provide more clarity, we’ve classified this as someone who makes six or more gifts per year.

Someone who has not yet given to Crossroads Church. This is the first step toward inviting God to be a part of your finances and becoming someone who invests where they will have eternal impact for God’s glory.
