GIVING TO NEEDY SAINTS

Giving Update:

To maintain the tax deductibility of any offering, IRS regulations require that the giver relinquish control of the funds and entrust the church with control of their use at its discretion. To protect our non-profit status, the church always strives to remain compliant with IRS regulations.

  • Gifts with designations should be toward various church needs and those related to the Lord's move by indicating in the ‘memo’ area. For IRS compliance, gifts (by check or electronic) having a person’s name in the ‘memo’ area will be returned.
  • If such a designation is received by Zelle, an email will be sent to the donor to indicate the gift is being returned by Zelle due to a person’s name present in the ’memo’ area.
  • Should you receive a return, you may simply make the gift again without a person’s name in the ‘memo’ area or designate the NEEDY SAINTS FUND as follows.

Giving to Needy Saints‍:

  • We encourage giving liberally to care for the needy saints. (Rom. 12:13). Designate your gift to the NEEDY SAINTS FUND in the ‘memo’ area. Offerings designated for this fund will be used at the discretion of the leading brothers as they become aware of needs among the saints.
  • If you feel to make the leading brothers aware of a particular needy saint’s situation, after making your gift please send an email to brothers@thechurchinkaty.org‍ ‍describing the situation to take into consideration. This email goes to certain leading brothers. Feel free to email any questions to the same email address.
  • If you prefer, we always encourage direct fellowship with a leading brother concerning these matters.
