Overflow Offering
God Has Proven to Be Faithful to Us Year After Year!
The Overflow Offering is an opportunity to trust God as we allow His generosity to flow through us for the coming 12 months. We believe God is a God of abundance, and we seek to mirror His generosity and overflow towards us. The two central pillars of our annual Overflow Offering are Kingdom advancement and legacy.
This year's 2026 inaugural 'Overflow Offering' will focus on advancing our local and global mission partners and their work In Devonport City and across the world.
What Is an Offering?
You may have heard people say “we bring our tithes and offerings” before. Why say both? What is the difference? The word tithe means “a tenth.” The principle of tithing is found in Scripture even before the law was given by God to the Israelites.
We believe the Bible is clear that tithing is a way that believers can show they trust God to provide and are grateful. An offering is anything beyond that 10%. It’s something we give in response to what God has done and is doing.
How Does the Overflow Offering Work?
Every 12 months the church is given the opportunity to bring a special offering above and beyond normal tithes to help expand God's kingdom locally and around the world. We want to provide the people of our church the opportunity to be generous out of the overflow that God has given to us. When we participate in the Overflow Offering, we join together to make a kingdom lasting legacy.
Each of us bring in a pledge form (online or on paper) for the coming year and as the year goes on and as we fulfil our pledges funds are released so we are able to fulfil these incredible missions and projects.
