Wait No More
Mission Church is currently in a two year generosity campaign called Wait No More. The top line of our 5 Year Vision is “Thousands of people are Gathering Differently as our facility has expanded to become a more effective aircraft carrier.” We believe God is calling us to break camp and advance in the same way He has called us in the past.
What We Believe About Giving
The ABC’s
We think giving at Mission should be as easy as knowing your ABC's.
Ask: What are you currently giving? Does it reflect your priorities?
Believe: Will you trust what God is putting on your heart?
Commit: Will you Start your giving plan and participate in what God is doing?
Why Mission?
Here are the reasons we believe to be most true of giving at Mission:
We are investors, not tax payers.
Giving at Mission makes you a co-investor in our vision of a movement of Jesus. We don’t collect dues. We collect investments.
We believe that God already provided generously to us; therefore, we honor God by giving back a fraction of what He has provided to us so that His kingdom may advance.
James 1:17 states: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”
We believe that giving is what God wants for us.
Time and time again in the Bible, God reminds His people that He is aware that our hearts are tied to our wallets. Fortunately for us, however, God’s plan is to grow us closer to Him and in faith as we increasingly trust and surrender our possessions to Him.
Luke 6:38 has this to say: “give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
Proverbs 11:24-25 further states: “One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.

What Do I Give?
The question of “Ok, so what am I supposed to give?” is probably the most common question we receive when it comes to giving. It is also a completely fair and understandable question. Therefore, we have set out to provide a simple, yet profound direction in this regard.
Priority
Give first. Save second. Live on the rest. This means pay God first. Make giving the #1 priority in your budget every month. This can be simplified greatly by setting up a giving schedule online.
Percentage
Pick a percentage of your income that you will prioritize to God each month and give it consistently.
Progressive
As you continue to build trust in God that your needs will be provided for, continue to challenge the percentage of your income you are prioritizing for God. We believe that this is a catalyst for growth in faith and suggest that you do this at least annually.
Prompted
This means that we should be prepared to give above and beyond our normal prioritized giving when prompted by the Holy Spirit.
FAQ’s
Are donations to Mission deductible for tax purposes?

Do I tithe on gross pay or net pay?
The fact that you are asking that question is awesome! There is no definitive answer, so we encourage you to talk to God about how He wants you to calculate your tithe. The heart behind the tithe is to ensure that we are trusting God more than we are trusting our money. We believe He will lead you as you increasingly trust Him in this area.
