Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this, says the Lord Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
— Malachi 3:10

Help us build a dedicated lodge at Camp Winnekeag to serve the entire Southern New England Conference — fostering faith, leadership, and community. As Bill Knott shares, "My life would not be what it is without Camp Winnekeag." We're raising just under $2 million to begin construction this fall.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Is online giving secure?

Yes. Adventist Giving is the official online platform of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in North America and uses bank-level encryption to protect your information.

Can I receive a giving statement for tax purposes?

Absolutely. If you give through Adventist Giving you can download year-end statements directly from your account. For mailed or in-person gifts, contact the church treasurer.

What is the difference between tithe and offering?

Tithe is the biblical return of ten percent of one’s income, dedicated exclusively to supporting gospel ministry. Offerings are freewill gifts above the tithe directed to specific funds or ministries.

Can I designate where my gift goes?

Yes. When giving online or using a tithe envelope, you can choose categories such as Church Budget, World Mission, Conference Advance, or specific ministries.
