Giving - We believe God asks us, His followers, to give a tithe (10%) of our income to support HIs Gospel mission throughout the world. In our context, it helps pay for pastors and teachers to spread the Seventh-day Adventist message of eternal hope (see Numbers 18:21-24; Malachi 3:10;). We are also invited to give offerings as the Holy Spirit impresses us to give to support the local mission of the Apopka Seventh-day Adventist Church and other special projects in the state of Florida and beyond (see 2 Corinthians 9:6-7). Today's Featured Offering is for our Local Church Budget. Please remember our Building Fund, which will go toward our mortgage payments as part of our Local Church Budget once we receive our "Certificate of Occupancy" for our expanded facility. You can give a physical offering using a tithe envelope and deposit it in the box in the lobby or give it online at adventistgiving.org. See our generosity update below...
