- Where your money goes
The items in this catalog are real examples from projects currently supported through our different churchwide ministries. The projects have been planned by our ministry team leaders – meaning that each ministry receives exactly the kind of support they need and none of what they don’t.
More than 95 percent of your gifts directly support our programs. 5 percent covers the cost of processing fees and our e commerce technology. Because we seek to honor your generosity and keep administrative costs low, we do not create unique or reserved funds for every gift. Your donation will be pooled within our existing funds, closest to the wider category of each gift selected. For example, a gift of donuts will be used to support our general and administrative fund while sponsoring an associate pastor will become part of our personnel funding and saving the steeple a part of our capital campaign. This allows our church to stay adaptive, flexible and effective in the work that we do.
Your gift is tax-deductible as allowed by law. You will receive a receipt of your gift for your records.
