What We Believe About Giving

We believe giving financially is an act of worship. The stewardship of our finances is actually an opportunity to advance the Gospel not just in what we give to, but in how we give. When we give generously we imitate our Father in heaven who gave to us generously in His Son Jesus Christ. When we open our hands in giving and share the gifts God has given to us, we free ourselves up to enjoy all we have in Christ. We also learn to trust in God's provision and not in ourselves. We in no way want to guilt people into giving and if you don't have a relationship with Jesus we are not interested in getting you to give. We simply want to share why we believe generosity is crucial to a Christ-follower.

Give Online

We are excited to offer you the opportunity to give online. We use a safe and secure giving system called Planning Center which process payments through stripe. If you give via credit/debit, the church will be charged a processing fee of 2.3% + $0.30 per donation. If you give via checking/saving account, the church will be charged $0.25 per ACH bank transfer donation. If you would like 100% of your donation to go directly to River of Life Alliance Church, we'd ask that you add the processing fees into your donation. If you need help, please watch the tutorial video below or contact our church. Thanks so much for giving to our church!
