A Generous Life is a Full Life

Generosity is what God wants for you, not from you. A generous life is the key to a rich life. Everything Pathfinder believes about giving stems from our beliefs about generosity.

Give Now

Generosity is the heart of God.

He was the first, most generous giver, as evidenced by his gift of the world to us at creation and then by the gift of His son Jesus on the cross.

Generosity is God’s plan for everyone.

God intends giving for all people, not just those who have been materially blessed, because it is a way by which we can grow in faith.

Generosity through tithing is a best practice.

Tithe means one-tenth and historically represented the best. Honoring God with our best serves as a guideline for giving. We believe in the blessing of the tithe (10%) as a spiritual practice.

Generosity is about what God wants for you, not from you.

God doesn’t need our gifts, but He wants us to experience the abundant life of generosity. Honoring God through giving and faith brings blessings, both spiritual and material.

Legacy Giving

Pathfinder wouldn’t be the place it is today without the past generations who gave fearlessly by designating Pathfinder as a beneficiary in their estate plans. Are you called to create a legacy of generosity by supporting God’s work for future generations? The LCMS Foundation can guide you through estate planning, including options and documentation, all offered for free to help more people bless the ministries they care about.
