The work and ministries of our congregation have impacts throughout our broader community as well as among our own members. We can and do change lives. Each of us has time, talent and treasure. Good works need our support and I invite you to consider thoughtfully how you can help. Discover how we are inspired to help others. Learn with us about caring for one another and the world around us.
When you donate to FBCH, 100% of the funds go directly to support our ministry:
- Gathering for worship
- Making music
- Supporting refugees
- Doing justice in our neighbourhood
- Faith formation of children (Godly Play program), youth (justice work by our Youth Group) and adults.
Every donation matters. Our mission and ministry needs your consistent support.
Did you know?
- It takes $1,500 every day to meet our annual operating budget.
- A $30 donation every week during the year meets 1 day of operation costs; $60 meets 2 days, and so on.
Every dollar helps us deliver our mission of love and ensure that our efforts reach those in need. Every donation is gratefully received!
