Giving at Freeway
A free way.
A full life.
We don't give to cover the bills.
We give to leave a legacy.
How It Works
Two buckets.
One direction.
Freeway is a tithing church. Our congregation gives 10% of their income — and we give 10% of our general budget back out to missionary partners, locally and around the world. Everything beyond the tithe becomes something we call Kingdom Builders.
The Tithe
10% of income.
For fully devoted followers of Christ, we expect a baseline of 10% of your income given to Freeway Church. This isn't a cover charge. It's not a hedge against God. It's practice — a rhythm of trust.
You can never out-give God.
Over and Above
Kingdom Builders.
Anyone who gives over and above their tithe is a Kingdom Builder. These dollars respond to specific, on-the-ground needs — disaster relief, Bibles, benevolence, camp scholarships, building upgrades. Never generic.
We don't give to cover bills. We give to leave a legacy.
Where It Goes
Every dollar,
on purpose.

Kingdom Builders
We get to change the world.
Tithes carry the rhythm — Sundays, staff, missionary partners. Kingdom Builders carries the moments: disaster relief, Bibles, benevolence, camp scholarships, building upgrades. As a family we can accomplish more than we ever could by ourselves. Never generic. Always specific.
You are a Kingdom Builder
Anyone who gives over and above their tithe is a Kingdom Builder. There's no form, no intake meeting, no minimum commitment. If you give beyond the tithe, you're in.
First Fruits
Each year we kick off with a First Fruits offering — a moment to plan, vision, and dream together about what God wants to do through us in the coming year.
2026 goal
We're aiming for $23,100 in Kingdom Builders giving this year — enough to give raises to every missionary we support.
The Trajectory
What It Funds
Specific needs.
Real moments.
Disaster Relief
When floods, fires, or crisis hit — here or around the world.
Bibles
For hands that want one and don't have one yet.
Benevolence
Immediate help for members of our church family in need.
Camp Scholarships
So no kid misses summer camp due to lack of funds.
Building Upgrades
The space that lets us welcome more people, better.
A Note from Pastor Roy
"Praise God that he continues to gently move us into deeper Godly wisdom as we walk our own path of surrender and transformation. May God's kingdom come to Albion and the surrounding areas as it is in heaven."
— Pastors Roy and Elissa Lucier
