As an independent church, Northgate is fully supported by the giving of its people. We do not receive any money from any outside organizations, religious or otherwise. All the funds donated to Northgate are used to fulfill our mission of helping unchurched people become whole-hearted followers of Jesus Christ – in both our local ministry and several foreign missions efforts we support.

Your giving changes lives! As Paul said to the Corinthians,

"This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people, but it is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else." (1 Corinthians 9:12-13)

Jesus talked more about money than He did about prayer, heaven or hell. Why? Because He said, “Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:21). Giving is a heart issue that gets to the core of what we believe and…what we want to become.

We believe giving is an act of worship – a very tangible response to the incredible generosity of God. We give out of grateful hearts in recognition that God owns everything, and we are to be faithful stewards of all he entrusts to us.

There are four foundational principles we embrace:
• Every believer has a responsibility to support his or her home church financially. (Malachi 3:8-10; 1 Corinthians 9:7-12; 1 Timothy 5:17-18)
• Every believer should prayerfully consider the biblical guideline of the tithe (10% of one’s income) as a helpful starting point for learning how to give. (Genesis 14:18-20; Malachi 3:8-10; Matthew 23:23)
• Every believer can give biblically, regardless of income. The amount is not as important as the heart as one gives…regularly, proportionally, generously, sacrificially and cheerfully. (Matthew 6:21; 1 Corinthians 16:1-2; 2 Corinthians 9)
• Every healthy church will go through seasons of sacrificial giving, above and beyond regular giving, to provide for special needs and opportunities. (Exodus 35:4–36:7; Acts 11:27-30)
