Generous Giving
Honoring God with our generosity
Why Give
Generosity is part of our worship
"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." - 2 Corinthians 9:7
At Rio De Dios Church, we believe that giving is an act of worship and an expression of our gratitude to God. When we give, we participate in God's work in our world and experience the joy of being part of something greater than ourselves.

Biblical Perspective on Giving
What God's Word 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."
- Malachi 3:10
"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
- Luke 6:38
"Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously."
- 2 Corinthians 9:6
"Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine."
- Proverbs 3:9-10
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about giving
Is it safe to give online?
Yes, absolutely. We use Givelify, a secure and encrypted platform that protects your financial information. Givelify uses the same bank-level security technology that major banks use.
Can I schedule recurring gifts?
Yes, you can set up automatic recurring gifts (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) through Givelify. This is a great way to make giving consistent and convenient.
Will I receive a tax receipt?
Yes, all donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law. You'll receive an email receipt immediately for online donations, and we send annual statements in early January.
How much should I give?
The Bible speaks of tithing (10% of income) as a standard, but also encourages giving as God has prospered you. More important is giving cheerfully and generously. Pray and ask God to guide your giving.
