Financial Giving to Shore

Giving financially to the church is simply part of following Jesus. Just as God asks us to honour him in our relationships, and with our time, he wants us to honour him with our money. Of course, God wants us to use all our money in ways that honour him, but he also asks those who follow him to contribute a portion of their income to the needs of the local church (Acts 2:44-45; 2 Cor 8:7; 9:6-7)

We encourage people at Shore to set up a system of giving that is:

- Intentional. We encourage people to pray and decide on (and talk together as a family about) a percentage of your gross household income you will contribute to Shore each year. 10% is a good benchmark, but not a figure that is set in stone.

- Systematic. Once you’ve decided on an annual amount, set up a system of giving that will work for you. For some, this means giving online through an automatic payment. For others, it means putting a cheque in the offering each week. Whatever the system, make sure it’s one you can stick to.

- Regular. Rather than giving sporadically, make sure your system of giving is consistent and regular. This will help you budget, and helps the church with financial forecasting as well.

Shore has four different giving accounts, for different purposes. You can give to any of these accounts at any time:


Note: for all of these accounts, the account name is still Shore Community Church.
