GIVING DURING OUR ONLINE SERVICES
As part of our worship, we take an offering on Sunday mornings during our gatherings. It is important to note that without meeting together regularly and participating in the weekly offering, the church finances are at risk. There are several convenient ways to continue your regular giving: • Pre-Authorized Debit: We have PAD forms available to download off our website by which you can set up an automatic recurring donation directly from your bank account. • Credit Card Online: The option to donate by credit card is available on our website (an admin fee will be deducted by CanadaHelps before disbursing the gift to Granville Chapel; CanadaHelps will also issue your charitable tax receipt). • Cheque: Donations by cheque can be made payable to Granville Chapel and dropped off or mailed to the church at 5901 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC V6M 3C9 where there is a secure silver mailbox next to the side door. • Post-dated cheques can also be mailed to or dropped off at the church building (address above). Thank you to all who are already giving generously!
OUR VISION IS TO BE
A SPIRITUALLY VIBRANT COMMUNITY TRANSFORMED BY GOD’S LOVE EXTENDING GOD’S KINGDOM
