We Embrace Irrational Generosity
2024 Giving Statements Available
First Fruits Offering
First Fruits is the annual offering at Transformation Church where we bring to God a sacrificial gift above our tithes that sets the tone of generosity and abundance for the year. This is a financial gift we offer the same way God’s people have for thousands of years going back to the People of Israel in the Old Testament.
In Exodus God asked that they would prepare for the new season by working and planting. When the first harvest of the year sprouted, they would tie a ribbon around it and after it had grown, they would bring it to the house of the Lord as their First Fruit offering and in doing so would declare to God that everything they had came from God, and they were giving to Him in faith knowing that He would give back to them in abundance.
We do the same thing. As we’re wrapping up the first quarter of the year and preparing for spring. We are going to bring our First Fruits Offering and give it anytime between now and March 30th. On Sunday, March 30th, we will have a special moment in each service to pray over all that have given online up until then and over the offering we collect on that day. When we do, we’re praying that God would do exactly what declared in Exodus and Nehemiah, that He would pour out favor on our lives throughout the remainder of the year.
Unlike the Old Testament, is not a “law to be followed”, but rather a “posture to be pursued”. By taking the first part of the year and giving generously to God, we are saying “God, I need your hand of favor on my finances, my home, and my life more than I need keep it” and in that you are committing to a covenant with Him with an expectation of God’s supernatural favor and flourishing to rest on you, and your family for the rest of the year. We’ve heard story after story of God’s abundant blessing on those who take part in this offering each and every year, and we expect nothing less in 2025 as well. I want to invite you to join us as we give in the First Fruits Offering at Transformation Church.

Donating stock can be one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. We've partnered with Overflow to make donating stock online, even just one share, quick, easy, and secure. Plus, you could save up to 20%* in capital gains taxes and up to 37%** in federal income taxes when itemizing deductions based on your tax bracket and the charitable donation value of your gift.
To understand the full tax benefits of giving appreciated stock, including potential state tax savings, please consult with your tax professional.
*This assumes all realized gains are subject to the maximum federal long-term capital gains tax rate of 20%, and that the donor originally planned to sell the stock and contribute the net proceeds (less the capital gains tax) to charity. This does not take into account state or local taxes, if any.
**This assumes the top individual federal income tax bracket for a taxpayer that is itemizing tax deductions and does take into account Adjusted Gross Income limitations on charitable contributions. This does not take into account state or local taxes, if any.

Tithing Is Our Foundation of Giving
The Bible teaches us a baseline standard for giving: the tithe. When we give the first 10% of our income to the church, we put God first in our lives.
At Transformation Church, we believe what the Bible teaches in Malachi 3:9-10, and the numerous teaching of Jesus including Matthew 22, about tithing. We teach tithing as an act of worship to God, who has provided us with everything that we have. When we tithe, we express gratitude, faith, and love for others. We give because we love Him and we love people.
We also give offerings to God, which is gift above and beyond our tithe.
