At Sobo Seventh-day Adventist Church, we recognize that giving is an essential aspect of our faith journey. It is a way to express our gratitude to God for His abundant blessings and to participate in His work on earth. Your generous contributions play a vital role in advancing our mission and touching lives in our community and beyond. We invite you to join us in this journey of faith through your gifts, which enable us to spread the gospel, serve those in need, and strengthen our church family.
Why Give?
Giving is more than a financial transaction; it is an act of worship that reflects our relationship with God. Here are some reasons why giving is important:
Fulfilling Our Mission: Our mission is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ and to demonstrate His love in practical ways. Your donations help fund various programs that equip us to share His message effectively and compassionately.
Transforming Lives: Every contribution directly impacts individuals and families in our community. Whether it’s providing food for the hungry, resources for families in need, or support for educational programs, your generosity helps transform lives and bring hope to those who need it most.
Building a Strong Community: Our church is a family, and giving strengthens our bonds. By supporting one another through your donations, we can create a nurturing environment where everyone feels valued and loved.
Responding to Needs: As a church, we strive to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Your gifts enable us to respond to local and global needs, whether through disaster relief efforts, community service projects, or outreach initiatives that extend beyond our walls.

Tithes and Offerings
As part of our commitment to biblical stewardship, we encourage all members to practice tithing. Tithing involves giving 10% of your income to God as an act of obedience and faith. This practice is rooted in Scripture and acknowledges God’s provision in our lives. Along with tithes, we also invite you to give offerings—additional contributions made above the tithe to support specific ministries, projects, and needs within our church.
Your gifts help support:
Worship Services and Programs: Funding for our weekly worship services, music ministry, children’s programs, and youth activities.
Community Outreach: Resources for community service projects, health clinics, food drives, and other outreach initiatives that serve those in need.
Missionary Work: Contributions to global missions that spread the gospel and meet needs in different communities around the world.
Church Maintenance and Development: Support for maintaining and improving our church facilities, ensuring a welcoming environment for worship and fellowship.

Your generosity has a profound impact on our church and the community. We believe in transparency and accountability, and we are committed to being good stewards of the resources entrusted to us. We will regularly provide updates on how donations are being used, highlighting the specific ministries and outreach efforts your contributions support.
Testimonies of Impact
We want to share stories of how your giving is making a difference. Throughout the year, we will feature testimonies from individuals and families who have been touched by our church’s ministries, demonstrating the tangible impact of your generosity. Whether it’s a child finding hope through our educational programs or a family receiving assistance during a difficult time, your support is changing lives.
