Our Financial Philosophy
"As members of Sovereign Hope Church, our desire is to reflect our love for Christ, our commitment to the Gospel and our hope in the Second Coming through the way we value and use the money and resources entrusted to us. We want to be rich in good works, as we learn to share generously and enjoy contentment with what God has blessed us with. Ultimately, it is our passion to show that Christ, not money, is our supreme treasure to a lost and dying world through our cheerful giving."
Founded on Scripture:
"Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field."
"As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life."
"In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
How Our Budget Works
Definite Expenses First
We pay all essential operating expenses first: rent, utilities, financial secretary, insurance, cleaning, media services, etc. These are our non-negotiable commitments.
Percentage-Based Ministry Expenditures
Only after definite expenses are fully covered do we allocate remaining funds by percentage to Missions & Discipleship (55%), Teaching Compensation (30%), and Operations (15%).
