Giving

Giving is one of the ways to be involved with CBC and to make a difference in the community. Right now CBC is at an incredible point in its history. We are reshaping how we are being God’s church here in Winona. We are embarking on an adventure with moving to downtown and reshaping our ministries. We know that some questions come to mind when thinking about giving. We hope that the answers below will give some clarity.

Why should I give to CBC?
We ask you to join God in what He is doing. God is changing the lives of many people at Community Bible Church. God invites us to join Him by loving, serving, inviting, sharing our faith, and giving to the church. Giving can be a way to express your gratitude to God for all He has given to you. God asks us for generosity by sharing with others what He has given to us.

How much should I give to CBC?
It is our position that the answer to this question is ultimately decided between you and God. Remember that we are only stewards of God’s possessions, not owners. The tithe (or 10%) is often considered the “benchmark” for Biblical giving.

What should I be giving to?
Currently we are asking for our members and regular attendees to give to the weekly budget. In addition we are asking all to consider giving to the building fund. We are in the midst of renovating a downtown building located in Winona. It is our desire to see the building as one that serves the community in many different ways. Every dollar given gets us closer to seeing the downtown building completed and lives throughout the community touched and changed forever.
