Online Tithing
At Calvary Chapel of Puerto Rico we believe where God guides, God provides. When we receive your financial support, we know it is God who is working in the hearts of His people to accomplish His will in and through this ministry.Your motive for giving or tithing to this ministry or any ministry should be love; love for God, love for His church and love for His work. God gives us very specific reasons why we should give to the work of the ministry; not because God needs our money, He owns all the cattle on the hillsides (Psalm 50:10), but as an expression of praise for who He is and what He has done in each of our lives individually.
