When Jesus talked about money, he spoke of a different way to manage finance and resource. He urged people to prioritise their investments in the unseen world (Matt 6:19-21).
Your giving enables us to be a sustained and fruitful gospel presence on the Eyre Peninsula and beyond. Most importantly, your giving to Life Church is an opportunity to partner with God and us as we see His kingdom grow in the world. If you call Life Church home, we’d love to encourage you to prayerfully consider regular financial giving to Life Church.

Why Give?
Giving is a part of our worship. We believe giving cheerfully and sacrificially is an act of worship that blesses the giver as much as the receiver (2 Corinthians 9:6-7). Among many reasons the scriptures give us for why we should give, one that should move your heart the most is because it makes us more like Christ. Giving is absolutely essential to following Christ.
When we give from a love for Christ, and with a generous heart, it causes many changes within us. Here are a few to think about:
- It increases our intimacy and directs our attention and heart to Christ. (Matthew 6:21)
- It increases our character, conforming us to Christ’s image as an unselfish giver.
- It helps us realize the true ownership of ALL of our possessions. (I Chronicles 29:11-12)
- It teaches us to trust and submit everything to God. (Deuteronomy 14:22-23)
- It works as our greatest weapon against the idolatry of money and its illusion of power in our lives.
