Online Giving

TITHE &amp; OFFERING 2 Corinthians 9:7 KJV Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for&nbsp;God loveth a cheerful giver. <br> God's people have always been characterized by giving, but the way they've given has changed over time.&nbsp; <br> Giving is an important aspect of the Christian life. After all, Luke records that Jesus himself said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35).&nbsp; <br> At Northside, we want to encourage all members to pray about giving and give as God leads them.&nbsp;
