WHAT IS COMMON GIVING?
At Common(s), generosity is not just something we do — it is part of the life Jesus is forming in us.
Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Common Giving is our invitation to live into that reality together — to become a church marked by open hands, shared sacrifice, and uncommon generosity for the sake of our city.
Think of the best tables you’ve ever been invited to — tables full of food, joy, belonging, and room for one more. Behind every table like that are people who gave, prepared, served, and made space.
We believe the church is called to be that kind of table.
Through Common Giving, we are asking God to grow our generosity so Common(s) can continue setting a table of hope, healing, and welcome for the people of Downtown San Diego.
Together, we give so others can find their place at the table.

WHAT IS TITHING?
God asks that we give our first and our best back to Him.
That is the principle of first fruits.
We return to the Lord 10% of what He's given us because it belongs to Him.
Check out Malachi 3: 10 NIV.
"Test me in this … and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it."
If you're not tithing already, a great way to start is through
our season of Common Giving.

WHY GENEROSITY?
It’s impossible to out-give God, but you’ll be glad you tried.
God gives us good things we don’t deserve and could never earn. When you hear us talk about abundant generosity, that’s what we mean. God created us with a generous spirit. Let's together embrace it by giving and being abundantly generous.
Our desire is to live out the heart of generosity found in the church as it began to be a movement of love and kindness to all humanity. The generosity of the church has taken care of others’ needs, helped champion the cause of other organizations carrying out good work, and also given the church the resources to fulfill its own mission in its neighborhood.
The goal is to giveaway the Common Giving offering to a local, national or global non-profit partner who we believe is bringing the goodness of God into the world through what they do.
