Giving Questions

What are my giving dollars used for?

Your gifts support the pastoral ministry and community outreach of Valleyview Mennonite Church.

This includes weekend services for adults and children, ministry programs, local outreach and support for local and worldwide missions. Together, we can accomplish more than we can separately.

Does the church have a budget?

Yes. The annual budget is developed based on the goals and objectives of each ministry area: Reaching Out, Worship, Connection & Caring, and Christian Formation.

The budget is approved by church members at the Annual General Meeting. Gifts to the General Fund are used to meet the needs of this budget and are allocated to areas of greatest need and impact.

What payment methods are available?

We accept credit and debit card donations through PayPal.

Monthly pre-authorized withdrawals from your chequing account are available through PAD/EFT by registering with the church treasurer.

INTERAC e-Transfers are also accepted at treasurer@valleyviewmc.ca.

How do I participate in the weekend offering if I give automatically?

If you wish, you can still participate in the weekend offering by placing an empty envelope labelled “I Give Online” in the offering basket.

How can I get a record of my giving?

You can view your giving statement at any time by registering for an account and logging in to this website.

The Giving History and Tax Receipt menu options are available after you are logged in.

How do I update my bank account or monthly PAD information?

Send the required changes to treasurer@valleyviewmc.ca.

Donating Securities

How do I donate securities?

Donating publicly traded securities can provide tax advantages. A donor may avoid paying capital gains tax that would otherwise apply if the security were sold personally, while receiving a charitable receipt for the eligible value of the donated securities.

Through Valleyview Mennonite Church's membership with the Canadian Centre for Christian Charities, donations of securities can be facilitated through the Community Trust Fund (CTF) .

CTF can assist with the paperwork, transfer and sale of the securities, issuing the charitable receipt, and remitting the proceeds to Valleyview Mennonite Church.

Abundance Canada is another option for facilitating gifts of securities.

Valleyview Mennonite Church encourages donors to discuss these options with their financial and tax advisors.
