I want to recognize that for many who are new to the life of Hood River Alliance Church they may not be familiar with some of the different ways available to give, or be aware of different accounts that we have the ability to give to, or even know who helps steward the funds that are given. So, I’d like to take a moment to talk about those things.

Missional Objective #1
In 2024, we will create a ‘Rule of Life’ that expresses and invites us into the practices we see in Scripture that leads to the ‘Abundant Life’ found only in ‘abiding’ in Jesus. (John 15:1-17)

The Hebrew word for faithfulness is emunah and it used 49 times in the OT. Emunah is used of both God and people when describing faithfulness. The word emunah itself comes from the Hebrew root aman, which means to securely trust or rely upon and from which we get our word "Amen."

Some would argue that because tithing is an Old Testament practice we are freed from its constraints because of the finished work of Jesus Christ.
