Plus, almost 100% of your gift goes to the ministries of Circle Drive Church because there are very minimal processing fees. Sign up for PAD by completing this form. To update your giving at any time, simply complete the PAD form again and submit it with your updated information.

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) 

Electronic Funds Transfer (or online banking) lets you move money electronically from your account to a company or other organization’s account. In this case, you can go to your account on your bank’s website and transfer money for the ministries here at Circle. To use online banking you need to set up Circle Drive Alliance Church as one of the organizations that you “pay bills” or transfer money to. To designate your giving as “Generosity” using this method, please email giving@cdac.ca at the time of transfer.

Tithing is more than giving. The word “tithe” literally means tenth or 10%. Tithing, or giving ten percent of your income, isn’t merely giving something to God. It’s giving back what was his to begin with. All that we have, or hope to have, comes from him. The Bible says that tithing is a reminder that God is the supplier of everything. It teaches us to always put God first in our lives.

Regular giving (tithes) go to the General Fund.  The General Fund covers the day to day expenses of operating our building (i.e. utilities, repairs & maintenance, insurance), our ministries (i.e. staff, resources, equipment), and regular sharing and missions (i.e. Alliance missions).

In Malachi 3:10, God says “Go ahead. I dare you. See if you can out-give me.” Giving to Generosity is a chance for you to be extravagantly generous. So go ahead, test and experience God’s generosity!

Generosity covers expenses that are over and above our ordinary operating expenses. These projects and activities will only proceed this fiscal year as Generosity giving allows. They are divided into three categories:

1) Mission –  local and global mission partners

2) Ministry – new initiatives, additional volunteer and staff training, community programming

3) Facility – upgrades, building projects, décor
