Financial gifts may be obtained twice a year. The Benevolence Fund Manager can let you know the maximum you are eligible for when you meet with them.
TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE BENEVOLENCE MINISTRY FUND
First, if you know of an individual with a need, please do what you feel led in your heart to do. If God is calling you to give to them... then do it, and don't feel obligated to donate through the church office.
However, if you would like to contribute to the general benevolence fund, you may do so by:
- At any time during the year, simply place your gift in the weekly offering with a note that the donation is for the benevolence ministry.
- Each year we have a special Christmas Offering to specifically collect money to meet the needs that come up for this ministry
Please note: you can not designate your money to an individual when you give to this fund.
