Giving

We give in response to the great things God has done for us through Jesus Christ. We give because we are thankful! We also give because we are partners, working as His agents to bring His glory and grace to His world. Jesus says that we are not owners, but managers of resources that God has first given us. This includes our lives, our minds (what we think) and hands (what we do). It also clearly includes our money. It's His money!

The work of St. John's Richmond internally, and for the city and our mission partners, is entirely funded by people like you who give generously and joyfully. For your convenience, offerings can be sent by Interac e-transfer to sjrbank[at]gmail.com and they will be automatically deposited. See other options below.
Also, cheques mailed to SJR are picked up and deposited regularly.

Are my donations tax-deductible?
As a registered charity, donations to St. John's Richmond are tax-deductible.
As well, people who remember the work of SJR in their estate planning have been a great blessing to the church. These kinds of gifts are also tax-deductible.
What are my gifts spent on?
Our highest area of expenditure is staffing costs, followed by building rental, contribution to the mission of the Anglican Network in Canada (our Diocese), and payments to mission partners.
Our money gets spent across the range of ministries in ways and amounts which are monitored and controlled by the elected representatives of the church, the Directors. This constant review, as well as the publication of monthly income and expenses, and the annual presentation of our accounts ensures we do our best to honour God with the way in which our resources are spent.
