"Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." (2 Corinthians 9:7)
One of the ways we worship God is through giving.
Giving to the church is not "paying for services rendered." It is not a "fee." Giving to the church is an act of worship as you help fund the mission God has given us. This allows us to share God's love with people in Brampton and around the world. If that is your mindset, you will experience the reality that it is "more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35).
Thank you for your faithful financial support of Heart Lake Baptist Church as we serve together to live out our mission.
RECEIPTS FOR INCOME TAX PURPOSES
An annual receipt for income tax purposes is provided by Heart Lake Baptist Church each February for contributions made during the previous calendar year through the Sunday Offering, Pre-Authorized Withdrawal and online donations. Designated funds are only accepted for Board approved programs and fundraisers, and with the understanding that when a given need is met, the gift will be used where needed most. Gifts designated to non-approved programs will be considered part of church budget.
Ministry Program fees like Youth Retreat or Clubs/Bible Camp registration are payments for the service provided and will not qualify for a tax receipt.
