AdventistGiving allows you to return your tithe and give your offerings online. At the same time, you do your online banking, are on a long business trip, are on vacation, or even cannot attend church due to an illness.
But most important of all, if you desire to give back to the Lord all of your first fruits as soon as you have them, you can do it immediately through AdventistGiving. Click here to see a short video clip about AdventistGiving.

Most churches have deacons, others have elders, and some churches have both. Some churches, regardless of their structure, have a Senior or Lead Pastor who makes pretty much all the decisions. But that’s not how we do it at Grand Avenue.
Grand Avenue has a Leadership Team that collaborates talents and skills. The Grand Avenue Leadership Team discusses sermon topics at a high level, determines what outreach will be happening at different times of the year, or decides whether the church will run outreach programs in the summer, etc.
This Leadership Team is not a nuts and bolts group . . . that is, they don’t spend much time working on details of how—but rather stay up at the why level, determining the purpose and parameters of ministry.
By operating this way, Grand Avenue believes decisions will come out better because they are made through the diversity of thought and opinion.
