Frequently Asked Questions
As followers of Jesus we are called to be grateful and generous, in response to our abundantly gracious and loving God.
In Malachi 3:10 the Bible speaks of bringing the first 10% (tithe) of your income into the storehouse (local church). Our tithes support day-to-day ministries and activities at Crossway. Beyond tithes we have the opportunity to bring other financial gifts that the Bible calls ‘offerings.’ These occasional financial gifts support a number of different funds, including the Crossway Kingdom Fund (tax-deductible), Welfare Fund and annual appeals.
Crossway is committed to wise, God-honouring stewardship of our resources and best practice financial accountability, management and governance.
