Give cheerfully, give faithfully
Your generosity fuels worship, discipleship, and outreach at Ephraim French SDA Church. Adventists believe tithe and offerings are acts of worship—returning to God what is already His and supporting the mission of the church worldwide.
Tithes
A tithe is one tenth of our income returned to God. Malachi 3:10 invites us to bring the whole tithe to God’s storehouse and trust Him to provide. Tithe supports the gospel ministry through the Adventist Church organization.
Offerings
Beyond tithe, offerings are freewill gifts given with joy. Local church budget, conference mission, and special projects depend on the faithful generosity of members like you.
Online Giving
The safest and easiest way to give is through AdventistGiving—by bank account or card, one-time or recurring.
What Adventists believe about stewardship
Everything we have comes from God. We are managers, not owners, of our time, abilities, and resources. Returning tithe and giving offerings express gratitude for salvation and advance the gospel until Jesus returns. “Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee.” (Deuteronomy 16:17, KJV)
In Person
Place your tithe and offering in the offering plate during Sabbath worship, or use church envelopes available at the welcome desk.
By Mail
Mail a check payable to Ephraim French SDA Church to 3160 Park Ave, Bridgeport, CT 06604. Include a note for local budget or a specific offering line.
