"God loves a cheerful giver" (2 Corinthians 9:7b)

​

Giving in the church is about more than raising money for the church budget.  A commitment to financial stewardship is a way for all of us to recognize that everything we have is a gift from God.  When you give to the church, you are giving to help with the programs and ministries of Allen Memorial, but you are also giving to ministries that stretch throughout world.
