Giving Update

by Marshall Walter on October 01, 2025

We are so deeply thankful for the consistent provision of the Lord through people’s faithful giving here over the years. The 2024/25 fiscal year was the 11th consecutive year that annual giving went up at Grace Church of Simi Valley. The Lord has blessed this ongoing faithfulness by allowing us to plant two churches in Rancho Cucamonga, onboard additional church staff, and continue to make the many repairs and improvements necessary to maintain our property. Just like our personal finances, there is almost always more to do and things we can’t get to just yet, but we are profoundly blessed to see the Lord continue to provide. Thank you for your faithful participation in what the Lord is doing here and we look forward with great anticipation for what’s upcoming in the months ahead.

Scripture consistently speaks about our approach to money as the great revealer of our spiritual well-being. Often a very accurate gauge of our soul’s well being is revealed in our approach to managing our personal finances. The stewardship of what God has entrusted to each of us provides an excellent backdrop to evaluate our priorities and assess what God has placed under our management and care. We want to pursue financial faithfulness the same way we’re striving for faithfulness in the many things the Lord has called us to.

Thank you for seeking to honor the Lord from your wealth and for faithfully partnering in the work of ministry which God has entrusted to all of us here in Simi Valley. We are thankful for your participation and want the emphasis to always be on our desire to honor the Lord in a voluntary and joyful manner. We never want to speak about finance in a way that manipulates, is reactive or seeks to motivate out of guilt. We trust the Lord to build his church and are confident in his ability to provide all the financial resources we will ever need, just as he always has.


You may place your offerings in the black mailbox hanging on the back wall of the church or access our online options via the Church Center app, our church website, or by text-to-give.
