Give
We believe in being generous because God is generous with us.
“The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.” (2 Corinthians 9:6-8)
Everything we have is a good gift from God, and giving is a way to follow in Jesus’ footsteps and show open-handed generosity while surrendering to Him. When you give through Woodland Park, you join us in demonstrating God’s love in tangible ways, locally and globally. This allows us to fulfill our mission and assist people in taking their next steps with Jesus.
When we acknowledge that everything we have is a gift from God, it changes our perspective. What’s your next step towards generosity?
