Our Generosity

Part of our response to God in worship is giving back to Him. Here at The Brook, you can do this in different ways. You can give by placing your tithes and offerings in one of the Offering Boxes in the back of the Worship Center. You can also give online through our website. However the Lord leads you to give, do it cheerfully, generously, and with a grateful heart!
