Generosity

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

- Matthew 6:21

Why give?

At New Community we desire to be generous.

We want to use our resources to positively impact others. We want to be known as a generous church because we believe that generosity is at the heart of God. The Bible tells us that whilst we were still separated and distant from God, he sent his son Jesus to earth so that we might be reconnected to him (Romans 5:8). This is the greatest act of kindness and generosity our world has ever known. His gracious step toward us is profound. The moment a person responds to God’s generous gift in Jesus a new relationship is born. A spiritual exchange takes place. God’s Spirit comes to dwell within us. His presence begins shaping our attitudes and values toward his own (2 Corinthians 5:14). This process influences every aspect of a Christian’s life, including the way they view money.
There are many unseen expenses involved in the daily activity of New Community. Your personal giving contributes towards practical acts of service within the wider community, staff wages, purchase of resources, facility hire, and general office expenditure. You will find that New Community is committed to maintaining a high degree of redistribution in the life of our community.

New Community Christmas Appeal

Each Christmas we take up our only collection for the year. We pass around buckets on Christmas Day as we call our community to be generous towards those less fortunate.
In recent years we have partnered with organisations in East Timor and in Laos (through Mulberries.org). In 2023 we partnered with an organisation in India to set up an ear bus for those in remote areas to receive treatment for hearing issues. This year we aim to raise $35,000 to support the first year of a new early detection and intervention program in South Asia for children diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy.
