LDP | Who is it for?
The LDP is designed for 20-something young leaders who desire to grow and be challenged in a work environment. The LDP is NOT only for men and woman who want to “go into ministry,” it is open to anyone looking for a leadership challenge. We are looking for and expecting the best of the best. We want to hire sharp, fun, caring, responsible individuals who have ambition and take initiative.

LDP | The Commitment
The LDP is a 11-month commitment beginning on the 1st of February and ending on the 25th of December. Each LDP Staff is expected to spend 20 hours/week working in a specific area of ministry (including Sunday mornings) and participating in the LDP leadership training course activities.

LDP | Details
We believe that leaders need to be equipped for ministry. We will cover all the costs of the LDP, including leadership books, CD’s resources, and experiential outings. Each LDP staff will receive a monthly monetary stipend. At some point during the year the LDP’s will get the opportunity of traveling to the USA to visit our partner churches in Georgia. We will cover the costs for that trip.

Handling money and giving (Tithing) is a matter of:

1. FAITH – God doesn’t need your money. He owns everything. But we give first because it takes faith to give first and God wants us to trust Him. He tells us in Proverbs 3:9-10
   “Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops and then your barns will be filled with overflowing.” We give first and the blessings of God follow. Click here for a story of how this principle has radically changed someone in our church’s life by learning to give first.
2. HEART – God doesn’t want your money, but He does want your heart, and the Bible tells us that where our treasure is, there our heart will be also. When you are not giving, your heart is not in what God is doing and that makes us sad and it will make you sad too.

So with this in mind we wanted to give an opportunity for everyone at Southpoint to begin tithing – so on Wednesday night at Overdrive, our vision night, we launched the 90 Day Tithe Challenge and this is how it works:

1. Make the commitment to give 10% of your income to Southpoint Church for 90 days. You may do so online, by envelope available at Guest Services table, or by cheque.
2. Fill out & sign the card – available for download here or at the Guest Services table on Sunday morning.
3. Turn in the card with your first contribution in the offering buckets.
4. Reference your tithe with a ‘90′ before your surname so we can track it effectively e.g. ‘90Smith’.

We commit to you that if you tithe for 90 days and God doesn’t hold true to His promises of blessings, we will refund 100% of your tithe. No questions asked. Our mission as a church is to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Part of growing is learning to trust Him with our finances; thus the 90 Day Tithe Challenge.

If you are currently giving less than 10% – continue giving your regular amount with your regular reference. But we challenge you to complete the card and tithe the remaining percentage separately with the ‘90′ reference so that we can track these extra monies.

‘I am the Lord All-Powerful, and I challenge you to put me to the test. Bring the entire ten percent into the storehouse, so there will be food in my house. Then I will open the windows of heaven and flood you with blessing after blessing.’ Malachi 3:10
