Give
Generosity is Part of Following Jesus
We believe generosity is an act of worship and a practical way we participate together in the mission of Jesus.
Everything we have belongs to God. Generosity is one of the ways we learn to trust Him, worship Him, and participate in His work in the world.
When we give, we are not simply funding programs or maintaining a building. We are joining together in the mission God has given our church: helping people find and follow Jesus.
Your generosity helps create spaces where people are cared for, discipled, equipped, and sent into our city and beyond.
Why We Practice Generosity
We give because God has first been generous to us.
Throughout Scripture, generosity is part of a life transformed by Jesus. Giving teaches us trust instead of control, gratitude instead of scarcity, and participation instead of spectatorship.
As a church, we want generosity to be more than a financial transaction. We want it to be a regular practice of worship and discipleship that shapes how we live.
What Your Giving Makes Possible
Your giving supports the mission and ministry of E-Free Lethbridge both locally and globally.
Through your generosity, we are able to:
- care for people in seasons of need
- disciple children, youth and adults
- create environments of worship and community
- equip leaders and volunteers
- support local outreach and global missions
- steward spaces that serve our church and city.
Every gift helps continue helping people find and follow Jesus in Lethbridge and beyond.
