Giving FAQs

Common questions about giving to the church.

Something else? Send us a message.

Is my gift tax-deductible?

Gifts to a church are generally tax-deductible in the United States. Ask the church treasurer for a giving statement for your records at the end of the year.

Can I give to a specific ministry?

Yes. Choose a fund on the form, write it on your envelope, or add it to the memo of your transfer or cheque. Undesignated gifts go where the need is greatest.

Can I set up a recurring gift?

Choose Monthly or Weekly on the form. Once online giving is live you will be able to manage it yourself; until then the church will confirm the schedule with you by email.

Who sees my giving?

Only the treasurer and the pastor. Giving records are kept confidential and are never shared with the congregation.

I gave but did not get a confirmation.

Write to giving@wordoflifelaborne.com with the date and amount and we will check and confirm it.

Thank you for giving.

Merci pour votre générosité. Your gift honours God and serves your neighbours.
