Your generosity is changing lives

Simple and secure giving. Give one-time or schedule

recurring giving using the options below.

Our culture constantly bombards us with the message that more money and more stuff will lead to happiness and fulfillment. The newest, biggest, and best always promises to bring value, status, and joy to our lives. But the Bible teaches us another way – a countercultural way of thinking about money and giving.

​
  • God has given us everything and owns all we have, so we are generous with our money in giving. Psalm 24:1; Psalm 50:10-12
     
  • The Bible teaches us to steward what he has entrusted us with to further his kingdom. Matthew 25:14-30 
     
  • We give consistently and systematically, honoring God first before fulfilling our other financial obligations. Genesis 4:3–5 
     
  • The Bible teaches we give compassionately: we give as modeled for us by Jesus, dying in our place. 2 Corinthians 8:9 
     
  • We give proportionally, recognizing that the tithe (10 percent) as the long-established minimum in Scripture. The Bible teaches us to test God in generosity. Malachi 3:10–11; 2 Corinthians 9:11
​
If Cedarbrook is your spiritual home, support it financially because God uses our church to bless us, those in our community, and our brothers in sisters in Christ all over the world through your generosity in giving. Every dollar given to us is used for every endeavor God calls us to. We thank you for your generosity!

    If your child is a current 5th grader going into 6th grade, he or she should join our youth team to volunteer on site. We have special things planned just for them. They can sign here!
  • Do you have volunteer discounts?

    Doors open at 8:45am each day. An adult must check-in children and drop them off with their small group each day. Kids cannot check themselves in or out by themselves. VBS ends each day at 12pm. The adult picking up the child must bring their check-in slip when picking up their child. More information will be provided closer to the start of VBS.

He or she will have to attend one of our training meetings so they know what to anticipate.

    Families and friends are invited to join us Thursday evening, June 20, at 6pm for a special presentation of our VBS program. After the presentation, stay for food trucks, carnival games, bounce houses and music on our lawn.
