Since 2006, our vision has been that we would become a community that was entirely financially supported by the people who are involved in our weekly meetings. When individuals, young and old and in between, make a conscious and disciplined decision to set aside a portion of the money they earn, to be given for the common work of this community, we will be able to accomplish the good things that God has for us. One of the beautiful things about ORB is that it is a work of all those involved, not of a few professional ministers. Our hope is that this character would be mirrored in ORB’s financial foundations: not carried by a few, but by everyone who is involved in the community’s common life. This will include some who give $1000 a month and some who give $10 a month. This year we would like to see everyone who is involved in ORB participate in giving to our common tasks.
Beneath this vision for our community’s financial life is the conviction that all that we possess actually belongs to God, and the only way to escape being possessed by our things is to give freely. No one should feel obliged to give, but any who do should expect to experience a measure of freedom from our culture’s rampant greed. When our community develops the discipline of sharing it’s resources, through broad participation in regular financial giving, we will both demonstrate our rejection of materialism as well as enable our work together as a community called by God to his good purposes.
There are several ways to donate to ORB:
Regular monthly donations, sent to ORB in the envelope provided on Sundays or via other automatic payment plans is the recommended method of giving. This tends to provide structure which facilitates the discipline of giving, as well as helping us budget realistically for our future. If you feel called to give to ORB regularly, we ask that you’d do so in this way. Obviously, non-regular donations are also appreciated!
If you are willing to donate your time, talents, or resources, i.e. things other than money, get in touch with Christian or Elaine and they will point you in the best way.
Another way to give financial support is to give money at the worship service on Sunday mornings in the giving box. It is there during every service if you so please to give.
Another way to donate a one time gift, is to send in a check to ORB. The check or money order can be made out to ‘Outreach Red Bank Ministries, Inc.’ Here’s the address to send it to:
