Giving

The Bible clearly teaches that giving (including money) is just one demonstration of commitment to the work and ministry of the church to which we belong. Being a generous people provides the church with the resources to do things well, and allows us to demonstrate God’s generosity in what we give away.

We don’t teach a particular percentage, as defined in the Old Testament (10% of gross income), but rather, with that as a guideline, that “each [person] should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Cor. 9:7).

We’ve made it as easy as possible to regularly give to NBV with the online giving tool (below)…

The NBV is a 501 non-profit funded entirely by it’s membership. All gifts are tax deductible (at year’s end the office will mail a record of your giving). All money we receive is used towards the operating expenses of our ministry here in Brooklyn and are handled with integrity & accountability.

Please feel free to talk with a leader if you have any questions about our finances, giving in the Bible or how money is spent in our community.
