GIVE

Giving Together in Faith.

Sharing what we have is an act of Love...

We love because God loved us first through Christ.

The people of Chelsea First commit to following Jesus’ example in their our daily lives. We believe that giving is part of following Jesus (discipleship). We strive to reflect the image of God in the world, reminding one another that “blessedness” is our center. In gratitude, we share our time, talents, and money. No matter the size, every contribution makes a difference and supports the work of Christ in the world today.
