Ways to Give
Royal Redeemer is a 501c3 nonprofit charitable organization. All of our financial support comes from donations from members and friends. Donations are tax-deductible. Giving statements are issued quarterly to all donors for whom we have contact information. Supporters may give regularly or through a one-time donation (see below). During worship first weekend of each month we shine a spotlight on a local, national, or international ministry or mission and provide the opportunity to give.
