We Give Because God Gave

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

Our God’s generosity invites us to respond.
One way we can live generously is by partnering with the church through our financial resources.
Every dollar you give supports the mission and ministry of the Adventist church, both locally and globally, and helps spread the good news of God’s great, generous love with our world.

How are my donations spent?

a. Tithe
This money is sent directly to the Southeastern California Conference and supports the world-wide ministries of the Adventist Church. A portion of the tithe supports the local church through paying the salaries of the pastoral staff.

b. Local Budget/Vision in Action
These funds support the mission and ministries of the Azure Hills Church. Our local spending plan this year is $981,000 and is used to cover all the expenses of our church.

c. Capital Fund
Giving to this fund helps reduce the debt our church has incurred through the major renovation projects we have undertaken.

d. Custom
You can designate a specific local ministry you would like your donations to support on the offering envelope or Pushpay. In emergencies, we reserve the right to use any local funds donated to address the emergency. Tithe is the only restricted offering accepted. We do our best to manage funds in responsible ways to avoid emergencies and honor your wishes.

Who oversees the finances of Azure Hills?

Our full-time Treasurer, Janet Bottroff, works closely with our Administrative Pastor, Steve McHan, to ensure the money is handled properly and is being spent wisely. We also have a Finance Committee, comprised of church members and the pastoral staff who meet monthly to review financial statements, approve the spending plan, and recommend to the Church Board major financial decisions for the church.
