2 Corinthians 9:7 “Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
We are grateful for your tithes and offerings towards what God is doing here at Spruce Grove Alliance Church. It is our commitment to honour the Lord with the stewardship of what we have been entrusted with.
How can I donate at SGAC?
We have five methods of donating to SGAC:
ONLINE GIVING
Whether it is a one-time gift or you would like to schedule a recurring donation, you can give online to Spruce Grove Alliance Church. With this option, you are able to give using a Visa debit card or the traditional Visa or MasterCard credit cards.
The Visa Debit is a debit card. It uses the same system as the standard Visa and MasterCard credit card but do not use a line of credit to the customer, instead relying on funds that the customer has in their bank account.
Spruce Grove Alliance Church recognizes that there are those who will prefer to use their credit card to give, however, it is a desire of Spruce Grove Alliance Church that donors are not incurring debt when giving to the church.
DIRECT PAYMENT FROM A BANK ACCOUNT
Pick up a pre-authorized debit agreement form at the Welcome Centre or download one here. You can fill it out and then return it with a voided cheque - just drop it in one of the offering boxes or return it to the Welcome Centre in an envelope marked "Confidential: Finance Office.”
ENVELOPES IN THE CHAIRS
There are envelopes in the chairs in the sanctuary that you can use to make an offering at any time. Please print your name and address (and Giving Number if you have one) clearly so we can correctly disburse the funds and issue your tax receipt.
If you don’t already have a Giving Number, please inquire in the office and we’d be happy to set you up with one. A Giving Number helps our staff in tracking donations and issuing accurate receipts.
INTERAC
Use Interac at the Welcome Centre to make your donation while at church, then fill our your donation envelope as normal including your name, address, giving number and insert your debit receipt so we can disburse funds as directed.
E-TRANSFER
Use E-Transfer to give at SGAC, using give@sgac.net. Please include your offering envelope number and contact information. In the notes section please indicate how you would like your donation designated, ie. General Fund, Canadian Ministries etc.. The money is deposited directly into the church account and does not require a security question. (This method of giving is not to be used for registrations.)
