Ways To Give
God is generous and so He calls us to be as well. What we do with what God has given us shows the world where our hearts are at and helps proclaim the gospel. We want to glorify God with every area of our lives, and that includes what we do with our finances.
If you would like to give, please see the different ways below. You can also designate your gift as going to the general church fund, building fund, HUB Radio Network, missions or for use as benevolence.

RockPile Church Building
Although we recognize that the church is more than a building, we are so excited that God has given us almost 6 acres (at the corner of 1431/Mustang) to build our church building so we can reach even more people for Christ. You can follow the link below to stay up-to-date on current needs, fundraising progress and check-out the building floor plan.

Foundations Series Week 12: Membership Week 6
Why a Church Covenant?
Why a Church Covenant?
The local church is a community of Redeemed people who live as the boots on-the-ground expression of the supremacy of Jesus by advancing His gospel to see the lost saved and the saved matured.
A covenant is "an agreement or mutual obligation, contracted deliberately and with solemnity”
God Decides the Terms of the Covenant

God Puts Himself Under Obligation with Promises
- God says to Noah, "I establish my covenant with you . . . and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth" (Genesis 9:11).
- And to Abraham God says, "I will make my covenant between me and you and I will multiply you exceedingly . . . you shall be the father of a multitude of nations" (Genesis 17:2, 4).
- And to Moses God says, "Behold, I make a covenant. Before all your people I will do marvels such as have not been wrought in all the earth" (Exodus 34:10).
- And to David God said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant, I will establish your descendants for ever, I will build your throne for all generations" (Psalm 89:3–4).

The contrast of two covenants
Old covenant: 12 Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, 13 not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end. 14 But their minds were hardened. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. 15 Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. 16 But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. (2 Corinthians 3:12-16)
New covenant: 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.(Ephesians 2:8-10)

What's Really New About the New Covenant
What is really new about the new covenant is that Christ seals it with his blood and purchases not only eternal life for the covenant people but also the faith and obedience that we must have in order to inherit eternal life.

The new covenant creates the church and guarantees that the gates of hell will not prevail against it and nothing will separate it from the love of God.
Christ has created us by a covenant to be his people, not just individuals—a body, a bride—for himself.
What establishes the visible union of a group of believers into a church is that they make a covenant with each other to be the church.
