Ways To Give
Tithing is not just another religious tradition. When you tithe, it says: “God, I trust you with my finances and I’m expecting prosperity in my life.” We encourage you to give your best so that you can prosper, the church’s ministries can grow and our community can be uplifted.

Why Give?
Is online giving secure?
Yes. We understand that many people are used to paying their bills and taking care of their finances online, which is why it’s even more important to protect people’s personal information. Through SecureGive, our online giving portal, we’ve created a way for you to easily and securely give to the ministry.
Why should I tithe?
God doesn’t need our money. He already owns it all. But when we willingly set aside the first part of our income for the local church and give liberal offerings, our hearts will be turned toward Him (Matthew 6:21).
How can I get a receipt of my giving for tax purposes?
You can get a record of your giving through our Church Community Builder database. Every member has an account. When you log on to your account, click on the “Give” icon and download your giving statement.
What’s the difference between tithes and offering?
A free-will offering is a portion that is given over and above the first 10% of your giving. The key to pleasing God is how you give from your heart…”for God loveth a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7).

What happens to my money when I give to Covenant Church?
Your tithes and offerings support the temple of the church and our ministries. Locally, they help support our feeding ministry and community resources program. They also support our global missions in Central America, Africa and India.
Global Missions
At Covenant Church, we believe in serving like Jesus, both here at home and around the world. Your tithes and offerings support the ministry of our church, including local outreach like our feeding ministry and community resources program.
Your tithes and offerings also help us extend God’s love globally through our global missions. Every gift you give strengthens this work, bringing hope, relief, essential resources, care, and support to people in crisis and nurturing life‑changing relationships that reflect God’s love.
