Together We're Better

Giving

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

- Matthew 6:21

Why we give.

God is a generous Giver and so He calls us to be as well.  We want to glorify God with every area of our lives, and that includes what we do with our finances.  "But generous people plan to do what is generous, and they stand firm in their generosity.” Isaiah‬ ‭32:8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Ways To Give

Online

Simple and secure. Give a single gift, or schedule recurring giving using your checking account, debit, or credit card  using the Give Online button below or download the Pushpay app and search: Garden.  Set up a free account and save your information for even easier giving in the future. If you'd like to give offerings toward a specific outreach opportunity or ministry emphasis (an outreach event, camp scholarship fund, etc.) select those from our Giving Types and enter additional info in the Memo field.  

In Person

Giving envelopes are available at our Info Center and at the Ushers tables in the back of the sanctuary. If giving a cash offering, please use a giving envelope if you'd like to have the contribution recorded for your tax purposes.  Checks don't require an offering envelope but you're welcome to use one if you'd like.

Mail

In order to correctly assign your contribution, please include on your name and contact information on the check or envelope.  Checks may be mailed to: The Garden 6811 West Okanogan Place, Kennewick WA  99336 

PAYING FOR A CAMP OR EVENT?

Most camp, conference, and event registrations can be paid on Pushpay by searching: Garden TC - Events and selecting the desired event. Be sure to enter the participant's name in the Memo field so we know where to apply the payment. Please note that Garden TC - Events is different from Garden, the one used for tithes, offerings, and general contributions, as events and registrations are not tax deductible.
