Giving FAQs

How much do I give?

Many times we tend to look at the size of the gift or the goodness of the cause. But Jesus measured generosity by a different standard: the condition of the giver’s heart. We believe that a great goal to set is to give 10 percent of your income, which was modeled for us in the Old Testament. Some may want to start with more or less, but it's often best to begin with a set percentage on a regular basis. Key things to do before giving:

    • Ask God for direction.

    • Choose a percentage and commit to it.

    • Remember everything we have belongs to God—the act of giving is simply offering back to God what is already his.

What is the best way to give?

We believe that online giving is the easiest and most cost-efficient way to give. It's automatic, secure and immediately reflected in your giving record. 

Can I designate my giving to a specific purpose, ministry or fund?

The church staff and board carefully consider how our funds will be distributed among our ministries in a way that keeps our mission and most important values at the forefront. It is important to designate which fund you would like your contributions to go to; if not designated, gifts will be attributed to the general fund.

  • Home Missions fund goes towards evangelistic efforts in Orange County.

  • Global Missions fund supports our many missions partners around the world. More info here.

  • Building Fund goes towards our vision of purchasing our own building to be a 24/7 beacon of hope in the community.

  • General Fund is everything else. We take 10% of all giving to this fund and give to as a tithe towards church planting and missions efforts around the world each month.

What are the possible advantages of a stock donation?

Gifts of appropriate property (i.e., stocks, bonds and mutual funds) that have increased in value since you have owned them can result in extra tax savings, which allows your money to go further for ministry. If you have held such assets for longer than a year, you can give to Voice Church and deduct the entire market value from your taxable income. In addition to regular tax savings, capital gains tax is not due on assets given to charity. Giving stock is very easy and secure.
