why give?

We want people to have an authentic experience of God in their lives and learn to Live Like Jesus. At CUMC, we do not want you to give your money to the church. We want you to offer your money to God. 
Offering a portion of our income (tithes) shows our gratitude and thankfulness to God, recognizing that everything we have comes from God. Our tithes show our willingness to bring our lives into line with all that God has commanded for us, our willingness to follow God's will and our trust in God.


The generosity and faithfulness of the people of CUMC, and God's Holy Spirit, is what enables and sustains us in our mission and ministries - at CUMC, in our community and globally as part of the United Methodist Church. We are asking you to invest your time, your talents and your treasures with CUMC.
