FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP

“Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the first fruits of all your increase: So your barns will be filled with plenty and your vats will overflow with new wine.”
-Proverbs 3:9-10

At ILM, we believe in the tithing principle or giving our “first fruits” to God. Tithing is a God-ordained divine principle of giving 10% of all your increase.  IMPACTORS understand tithing is an act of worship and a sincere reflection of heartfelt honor, reverence and gratitude to the Lord for His loving care, compassion and provision for us. Offering is anything we give beyond our tithe to help build the house of God.

Our vision at ILM is that every family and our community is financially healthy. Financial health includes financial literacy, economic dignity, and collective upward mobility. ILM is committed to being a 700+ credit score church where every IMPACTOR experiences the numerous benefits of a good-to-excellent credit score.  By partnering with institutions like Thrivent, IMPACTORS are supported in growing their financial acumen, achieving their financial goals, and living generously.

No matter where you are financially, we encourage all IMPACTORS to utilize Money Canvas, a free online program that helps build healthier budgeting, saving and spending habits. Over the course of three virtual sessions and support from a Money Guide, IMPACTORS can build confidence and learn to manage money more mindfully.
