God's people have always been characterized by giving, but the way they've given has changed over time. For example, people no longer bring goats, sheep, calves and grain to God as they did in the Old Testament. Giving money is simpler, cleaner and theologically sounder since Jesus has made the ultimate sacrifice. As the way that money is exchanged changes, we at Cedar Grove Baptist Church are extending members a new way to offer their financial gifts to God.

Anyone who would like to give to Cedar Grove Baptist Church online is welcome to do so through our CashApp or Givelify. This makes it easy to quickly transfer money from a bank account or debit card to the church safely and securely. One-time gifts and recurring withdrawals can both be set up, and gifts can be given to Tithes, Offering, Building Fund, Mission (Benevolence), Church Anniversary, Cedar Grove Community Campus, etc.

At Cedar Grove Baptist Church, we'll continue to take an offering during the service for people who prefer to give by cash or check. For members who'd rather transfer money electronically, though, giving through the apps is an option.

Giving is an important aspect of the Christian life. After all, Luke records that Jesus himself said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35). At Cedar Grove Baptist Church, we want to encourage all members to pray about giving and give as God leads them. For those who prefer an online way to give, the church website now offers one.
