Generosity is one of our core values here at Upstate Church.

We don’t just want to be people who give. We desire to be known as extremely generous investors.
We really believe it’s better to give than to receive, and we want to invest in people.

In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” – Acts 20:35

Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. – 2 Corinthians 9:7
