FAQ > The Crossroads FAQ > Why don't you pass a plate for offerings?
In 1st Corinthians 16, the Apostle Paul instructs the church about an offering for the suffering Believers in Jerusalem, and in verse 2 he says: “On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.” We believe that the church is not supposed to be a collection agency. We prefer to view giving as an act of worship. Rather than passing a plate, we place a basket up front. If you desire to worship God with your money, you may offer it during the singing. We also place a basket in the back in case you wish to be more discreet. Checks can be made out to "The Crossroads." Also, we ask that you use the envelopes provided at the door if you would like your gift to be tax-deductible.
