Five ways to donate to Redeemer Lutheran Church

Here are five ways you may continue supporting our church’s ministry:

1.) Mail envelopes to the church

You can mail envelopes directly to the church office.

Mailing address:
Redeemer Lutheran Church
1499 Laurier Avenue
Vancouver, B.C. V6H 1Z2

The mail continues to be received and our treasurer and financial secretary will ensure cheques are deposited.

2.) Drop Envelopes off at church

If you are able and feel comfortable you may also drop off your donations at church by placing them through the mail slot in the office door (this is the door to the administration/office wing of the church, next to the Memorial Garden, and can be accessed from Laurier Avenue.)

3.) Click on the Donate Now button to donate to Redeemer using your credit card via Canada Helps:

 

Donations will be processed through CanadaHelps.org; the fees charged by CanadaHelps.org to process this form are 3.75% for a one-time donation or 3.5% for monthly giving. These credit card processing fees support CanadaHelps.org. CanadaHelps.org is a non-profit organization, so all donations made to Redeemer Lutheran Church in this way are tax deductible, and a tax receipt will be mailed to you by CanadaHelps.org.

4.) Use a credit card to donate to Redeemer Lutheran via the ELCIC National Office.

In this method you click on this link http://secure.elcic.ca/ and then

1.) Select the ELCIC General Fund

In the “Personal Message,” field, include the name and address of Redeemer Lutheran Church:

Mailing address:
Redeemer Lutheran Church
1499 Laurier Avenue
Vancouver, B.C. V6H 1Z2

The National Office will assume all credit card processing costs and pass on to Redeemer Lutheran Church 100% of the monies received. The National Office of the ELCIC will also issue a charitable donation tax receipt.

5.) Use Interact E-Transfer through online banking to make a donation to the ELCIC National office.

Instructions on how to send or receive e-transfers of funds are found on Interac’s website: https://www.interac.ca/en/consumers/products/interac-e-transfer/

If you would like to use the ELCIC National Office’s Interact E-Transfer through a personal banking account, you may make that transfer to payments@elcic.ca

Members will need to follow up with an email to payments@elcic.ca with the name and address of the congregation to which the donation is intended

i.e.

Redeemer Lutheran Church
1499 Laurier Avenue
Vancouver, B.C. V6H 1Z2

The donor will also need to supply an answer to a security question. This answer will be used to verify that the recipient (the ELCIC) is entitled to receive the donation.

The National Office of the ELCIC will then forward any money received to the congregation. The National Office will assume all processing costs and pass on to Redeemer 100% of the money received. The National Office will also issue a charitable donation tax receipt.

If you need assistance with the options or have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to reach out by e-mailing the church office at redeemer@telus.net.

The days, weeks, and months ahead will be a challenging time for us, but when we pray, work, and give in GOD’s name, we can make it through the darkness.

For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. –Isaiah 41:13
