We Give Because God First Gave To Us.
Generosity is at the very core of God’s nature—it's who He is. And because we’re made in His image, we reflect Him best when we give and faithfully steward what He’s entrusted to us. Every act of giving becomes an opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus—impacting lives in our community and beyond.
Tithing
When You Tithe, You’re Trusting God With Your Finances.
The reason we give is because God is a giver. His very heart and nature, as shown throughout Scripture, is generosity. Because we’re created in His image, we’re most like Him when we give and steward all that He has entrusted to us.
Tithing is a biblical principle that means a tenth (10%). The first tenth, which belongs to God, is Holy and set apart for Him. When we bring our tithe to God, it means that we trust and acknowledge that He’s the giver of every good thing in our lives. Tithing isn’t as much about finances as it is about faith. It’s not about what God wants from you but what He has for you.
Tithing is about training our hearts to trust God at His Word. He gave us the greatest gift, His Son, and in response to this gift, we also give.
In Malachi 3:10, The Bible says we can test this promise. When we bring our first and best back to God, He promises to bless the rest of our resources so that we can be a blessing to others.

Offerings
We’re Generous Because God is Generous.
There's a joy and a blessing that comes when we give above our tithe and bring offerings back to God.
We are never more like Jesus than when we serve and give. In the Bible, we're told that God so loved the world that He gave... Our offerings go beyond the obedience of the tithe; they are a reflection of a life marked by generosity. We believe generosity has a divine purpose connected to it, which is why we invite everyone at Elan Church to give beyond the tithe in one of these three ways throughout the year.
Every year, Elan Church receives two annual offerings. Heart For The House (which goes towards accelerating what God is doing here in Chicagoland) and Heart For The Kingdom (100% of which is given away outside of Elan Church to Kingdom partners).
