The ministry of Royal Redeemer is funded through the generous financial support of our members and friends.  As a 501c3 nonprofit organization, all contributions are tax-deductible as charitable giving.

Offering envelopes enable us to track your giving and provide you with a quarterly statement for tax purposes.  If you would like offering envelopes contact our Office Administrator, Jennifer Samson (click the "Staff" button on the left side of this page.)

You have three options for regular giving.

Weekly worship:  You may choose to offer your gift during one of our weekend worship services.

By mail:  You may mail your offering to the church office (address below).

Automated giving:  You may have a pre-designated amount withdrawn on a regular basis from your bank account through Thrivent Financial's Simply Giving program.  There is no fee for this service.

Through Simply Giving®, your offerings are made through a pre-authorized withdrawal from your bank account. You determine the frequency of your automatic donation – weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly – the option is yours.
