Each of us is called to worship God with our entire life, including our time, talents and resources. Sharing those resources is an important way to worship the Giver of all good things. We pledge to be good stewards of your gifts, taking great care in how we manage and track the resources entrusted to us.
One major difference you will see the first time you visit Countryside is that we do not pass an offering plate during Sunday morning service or any service. The service is our gift to you as a first time visitor and we are privileged to have you in attendance. We do not want you to feel pressured by having a plate passed by you and your family; besides, the regular attenders and members are more than happy and willing to support the ministries that make up Countryside. If you choose to give, your offerings can be placed in the large white "offering boxes" that are near the exits.
Giving Methods
You may make your gifts in a variety of forms. You will receive a receipt of your tax-deductible gifts in accordance with IRS requirements. Please let us know if you have any specific needs regarding the timing of these notifications; otherwise, you will receive the minimum summary of your gifts necessary to meet government standards. In order to receive a yearly receipt, your gifts must be marked with your name in some way.
Cash
You can give cash during Sunday-morning worship services or drop it off at the Countryside office during normal business hours.
