We give because all that we have—time, money, talents—comes from God. Scripture teaches us that one way we thank God is by returning a generous portion of those gifts back to him. When you give, lives are changed through Christ.
Many of our members choose to donate stock to LGPC. If you would like to participate in this option, please click the link below for instructions. Another way to give is by sharing a portion of your IRA’s Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).

Giving FAQs
Why We Give
Together we are privileged to do God’s work at and through Lake Grove. The Church is for all of us, both near and far. Praying, volunteering, and giving make all worship, ministry, mission, and discipleship possible.
What is Tithing?
Tithing is our starting place in giving. The Bible teaches us about a baseline standard for giving: the tithe (a word that literally means a “tenth”). When we give the first 10% of our income through the local church, we put God first in our lives. Tithing is an act of worship that expresses our gratitude, faith, and love for others. God also encourages us to give offerings beyond our tithe to specific projects at our local church and to other organizations and causes that we personally believe in.
