Finances

Community Circle Finances

Community Circle is committed to transparency and to careful stewardship of funds given by members and friends to support congregational ministries. Budgets will be approved by a yearly conference of the congregation members and posted publicly for easy access and scrutiny.

In Community of Christ, tithing is understood through the principle of the Disciple’s Generous Response.

Disciple’s Generous Response

There are many lives waiting to hear the redeeming words of the gospel, or to be lifted from hopelessness by the hands of loving servants. But they will be lost to you without the generous response of disciples who share from their own bounty that others may know the joys of the kingdom.

Doctrine and Covenants 162:7a

A Disciple’s Generous Response comes from an increasing awareness of God’s abundant generosity toward us. All that we are and have are gifts from God. As followers of Jesus, we share the gifts that have been given us so that we can bless the lives of all of God’s children. As we align our heart with God’s abundant love for all humanity we will come to a greater awareness of our true capacity to give.

The Six Principles of the Disciple’s Generous Response are:

  • Receive God’s Gifts
  • Respond Faithfully
  • Align Heart and Money
  • Share Generously
  • Save Wisely
  • Spend Responsibly
