“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

2 Corinthians 9:7 NIV

What are Tithes and Offerings?

Each week when we are together for our services, we pause to take up an offering – and many give using our app or donating here online in the same way.

As an act of worship, we regularly return to the Lord a portion of our income for the work of His kingdom through our local church. The divine guiding principle for giving, as seen in the Scriptures, is the tithe (ten percent).  An offering is what we voluntarily give to the Lord above and beyond the tithe. (You can learn more about this at our Foundations course.)

Regardless of the method or schedule each individual uses to submit their donation, that moment is part of declaring together that our giving is in obedience and thankfulness to God for His overwhelming generosity toward us.

Please note that receiving and spending of funds is confined to approved programs and projects.

Designated Giving Policy:

Each restricted contribution designated toward Church of the Rock approved programs or projects will be used as designated with the understanding that when any given need has been met or cannot be completed for any reason, the remaining restricted contributions will be used where needed most.

Gifts of Securities – donation of stocks or mutual funds

Donating stocks or mutual funds is the most effective way to maximize your tax savings. When transferring shares (shares, bonds, mutual funds) directly to a registered charity, such as Church of the Rock, the capital gains do not need to be reported as income and are therefore not taxable.

In addition, a donation receipt is issued for the full value of the shares, further reducing income taxes.

  1. Contact your Financial Advisor and advise him/her of the transfer.
  2. Go to one of the suggested brokers to facilitate the transfer of shares to a charity.
  3. Upon receipt of the shares, the broker will redeem the shares and provide a donation receipt to the donor for the value at the time of transfer.
  4. Church of the Rock will then receive a cheque for the donation
Suggested Brokers

This can be an efficient way to give your yearly tithe.

If you would like more info or to make a gift of listed securities (shares), please contact our Financial Manager (204-261-0070).

Legacy Giving – planned gifts and estate planning

When you make the decision to leave a Planned Gift to Church of the Rock, you will help assure the continual financial health of the church and its programs. There are several ways you can provide a planned gift:

  • Bequests through a will
  • Life insurance
  • RRSPs & RRIFs
  • Gifts of securities.
Estate Planning

You can name Church of the Rock as a beneficiary in your will, insurance policy or RRSP/RRIF. Leaving a gift to a registered charitable organization can help to reduce the tax that your estate will pay while also leaving a legacy of faith that will continue to support God’s work.
