How We Give

Four Ways to Support the Ministry

IJNM is funded by its members and clergy — not by corporate donors or outside institutions. Every dollar given here stays in the community of faith.

01

General Donations

Contributions from Members and Clergy toward essential operating expenses — electricity, water, rent, and other ministry bills. The foundation that keeps groups meeting.

02

Building Fund

Dedicated solely to constructing and maintaining Ministry Buildings. The house churches in each city fund their own building — collectively, not corporately.

03

Tithing (Personal)

Personal tithing is a biblical practice — giving proportionally from what God has provided. Tithes go toward orphans, widows, and those in need in our community, as Scripture directs.

04

Church Vote Offerings

Special offerings approved by the church body — for specific needs, projects, or outreach efforts. The congregation votes on how these funds are directed and used.

How Buildings Get Funded

The Shared Expense Model

No one house church carries the financial burden of a Ministry Building alone. Each house church contributes a flat amount per month toward shared building costs — making ownership and upkeep achievable for small communities.

This is the early church model: the body pools its resources so that no single member or family is overwhelmed, and the building serves everyone equally.

Example

A Ministry Building with roughly $500/month in operating costs (electricity, water, and other bills) is shared across 10 house churches. Each house church contributes a flat amount — the exact figure varies month to month based on actual bills. Everyone gives a little; together, they sustain a lot.

Sample Building Budget

Electricity~$250/mo
Water~$100/mo
Other Expenses~$150/mo
Total$500/mo

Shared across 10–28 house churches

Our Financial Principles

Giving Done Right

We take financial integrity seriously. These principles guide how IJNM handles all money entrusted to us.

Transparency

  • All significant expenditures are reviewed and voted on by the church body
  • Members are informed how funds are used monthly
  • No hidden fees or surprise charges

Salvation and Sanctification

  • Salvation and sanctification are gifts of God — they cannot be bought
  • No one is charged for spiritual growth, teaching, or ministry access
  • Giving is voluntary and Holy Spirit-Led

Collective Ownership

  • Ministry Buildings belong to the community, not any individual
  • Each contributing house church has equal stake and access
  • Resources serve the whole body, not the few

Care for the Vulnerable

  • Tithing funds directed toward orphans, widows, and those in need
  • The community looks after its own and extends help outward
  • No member left behind due to financial hardship

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

— 2 Corinthians 9:7
