Generosity

Tithe:  Tithing is the starting point. It’s the minimum financial generosity that we are given as a guide, a starting place for one aspect of a fully given life. Tithes facilitate His ministry and ministers in the church, as well as the legally required administration of a church in Australia.

Offering: An offering is the over and above. It’s an extravagant representation of God’s abundance and overflowing nature. Offerings facilitate the operation, maintenance and payment for facilities that we meet in.

Beyond Us: This giving is an extension of the gospel, as we give to those we do not know. It’s an unconditional gift which is for the benefit of others. 

Once-off giving: A once-off gift that may go towards special events or special circumstances. For example, we currently have a Building Fund (which includes our effort to install a lift the ‘Lift Fund’).

As a church, we give 10% of all that comes in Beyond Us.

Coastlands gives 10% of its tithes to its charity arm, which is the outworking of the church, to the positive effect of our local and global community. 

Coastlands also gives 10% of its offerings to our future. Through wise stewardship we continue Coastland’s legacy, honouring those who have invested and served this church before us. It goes towards blessing those with whom we have relationships, who have Coastlands interests at heart and who bless our community as much as we bless theirs.
