Giving
As apprentices of Christ, our vision is to be “Responding to the Heart of God; Transforming the Heart of the City, the Nation and the World.”
One of the many ways the Bible tells us that we do this is by striving to become good stewards of all that God has given us, both of our talents and financial resources. Even as King David praised God for Israel’s generous gifts for a new temple (to be built by his son Solomon), he acknowledged God’s sovereignty in that giving when he said, “Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.” (1 Chronicles 29:14)
Ways to Give
Note: You will read references to “Fund designation” in the various giving methods below. Bethel currently has five funds that you may allocate your donation to. If no fund is indicated on your gift, it will be allocated to the General Fund.
1. General Fund // 2. Building Fund // 3. Bethel House Fund // 4. Benevolent Fund // 5. Refugee Project
E-Transfer
Send your e-transfer donation to give[at]bethelkingston.com
In the Message section, include your name and mailing address (especially if you are a first time donor) as well as the Fund designation for your donation. If no Fund is specified, your donation will be allocated to the General Fund.
If you are a first time donor and your contact information doesn't fit in the Message section of the e-transfer, please send a separate email to give[at]bethelkingston.com with your full mailing address.
Auto Debit
Set-up a recurring monthly or bi-monthly donation to be withdrawn directly from your bank account on the 1st and/or 16th day of each month. Print & fill out the Auto Debit Sign Up form, and submit to the Bethel Office in person or by email.
