Give

Giving is Part of our Worship

A donation to Forest Grove Community Church provides financing for our unified budget, which funds operating costs of The Gathering and Attridge congregations, and global and local outreach opportunities.

We aim to be transparent and wise stewards of our finances, and are grateful to those that support our church. But most importantly, we invite people to worship by giving their finances. We believe giving generously changes our hearts and is part of our transformation in Jesus.

If you have any questions about our church finances, feel free to contact Kevin Wiens.

Ways of Giving

If you need a donor number, please ask our Financial Administrator for one! We’ve got you covered.

1. E-Transfer Giving

Our banking is now set up to receive e-transfers! Use your online banking to make a one time or scheduled donation.

• Send to Email: finance@forestgrovecc.com (Security question and password are not required – we are set up for auto-deposit)
• Please add to the message or notes section:
  • Your name & donor number
  • Your email address (must be a valid email address to ensure we are able to contact you for a giving receipt)
  • Any instructions if your donation is for a different fund than the Operation Budget (i.e., Advent Project, Benevolent Fund, etc.) 
  • Example Message: Karen Verdouw 8675 karen@forestgrovecc.com Operating Fund

Donations sent without the information above, will be considered anonymous and not be issued a charitable receipt. 

In-Person

You can donate by putting a cheque or cash in pre-numbered envelopes, and dropping them off at the main office, or at your site. If you don’t have a pre-numbered envelope, you can ask our main office for some, or make sure to write your name and donor number on the envelope for receipting purposes. 

We have retired our debit machine this year, as the banking and monthly fees became too costly. To give directly from your bank account, please use the bank transfer method or e-transfer.

Online Giving

You can give through our ChurchCentre App using a credit card.

Online Bank Transfers

You can give through your bank by selecting Forest Grove Community Church as a recipient in the “bill payment” part of your on-line banking.

• Access your bank account on-line
• Select the bill payment option
• Select the “add payee” option
• Search Forest Grove Community Church, and add as a payee using your donor/envelope number as your account number / identifier for receipting purposes
• Make or Schedule a donation as you would a bill payment
• If you would like to designate funds (i.e. to our Advent Giving Project), please follow up your donation with an email to our Financial Accountant detailing your name, donor number, and the allocation of your funds.
