Your generosity fuels life change.
“You must each decide in your heart how much to give… For God loves a person who gives cheerfully. And God will generously provide all you need.”
(2 Corinthians 9:7–8)
The heart of generosity
We don't give because God needs our money, and we don't give because the church needs our money. It's so much bigger than that.
We give because Jesus knew what we all know, that money has the power to control our lives. In fact, Jesus said that where your money is, there your heart is as well.
As we grow in generosity, we grow in our trust of who God is in our lives.
Why We Give
All throughout Scripture we see God inviting His people into a lifestyle of generosity. We give out of obedience to His word, and that obedience makes a difference in our lives and the lives of the people around us.
The Bible teaches the principle of the tithe. The word tithe in Scripture means “tenth,” or ten percent. We believe that as Christians we are called to return ten percent of our income to the Lord through the local church.
Malachi 3:10 says: “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”
Anthem Church is 100% funded by people like you who decide to leverage their resources for something bigger than themselves, to inspire and equip people to follow Jesus. Every dollar goes directly to ministry that impacts people.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for sacrificing for our mission of inspiring and equipping people to follow Jesus. Thank you for carrying our vision forward, and for trusting God with open hands and open hearts. The best is still ahead.
Onward,

Why does Anthem Church emphasize giving?+
The greatest act of love and generosity was God giving his Son, Jesus, for us, and that's the foundation for everything we teach about giving. Giving our time, talents, and money is simply our natural response to understanding the generosity of a good God, not an obligation we're trying to meet.
What's the difference between a tithe and an offering at Anthem Church?+
We believe we're stewards, not owners, of what God has entrusted to us. A tithe literally means 10%, and it's about bringing back to God what's already His, while any amount given above that 10% is considered an offering, given cheerfully over and above the tithe.
How is Anthem Church accountable with the money it receives?+
Anthem Church is governed by a Board of Directors and led by staff, with clear financial oversight built into how we operate. A Stewardship Team meets quarterly to review expenses, and an outside bookkeeping company partners with our staff, Board, and Stewardship Team for ongoing, independent financial reporting.
I feel called to give generously beyond a normal tithe, who do I talk to?+
We'd love to hear your story and help you make an eternal impact in Gainesville and beyond. Reach out to our Executive Director, Annie Tucker, at annie.tucker@anthemchurch.com, and she'll help you think through next steps.
Is there a fee when I give to Anthem Church online?+
Yes, there is a small processing fee for electronic gifts, since online giving is handled through a third-party platform. You'll have the option at checkout to decide whether or not you'd like to help cover that fee yourself.
What do I do if I made a mistake with my gift to Anthem Church?+
Mistakes happen, whether it's a wrong amount, a duplicate gift, or a change to your giving information. Just reach out through our contact page or email hello@anthemchurch.com and let us know what you need. Our team will be happy to help sort it out and make it right.
