How to Donate

Sharing The Dream
Stewardship: Putting Your Gifts into Action At MCC Toronto, our work is supported by donations from the congregation. People just like you! People from all parts of society, from all income ranges. Donations help care for the thousands of people that come to MCC Toronto each month and to reach out to those who have not yet found our church home. If we meet our need we will also be able to realize some of the dreams shared by the congregation. What is a Pledge? Your pledge is an indication of how much you plan to give the church in a given year. You may change or cancel your pledge at any time. If you pledge, giving statements will be mailed to you quarterly so you may track your donations. How Much Should I Pledge? We are asking everyone to consider tithing on their annual income. God gives us 100% of what we have. Tithing is the biblical example of keeping 90% of what we have and giving 10% back to God so this ministry can make a difference in someone's life. How Can I Give? You may make donations to MCC Toronto by cash, cheque, post dated cheque, VISA, MasterCard, American Express or by E-Giving (see info in right column). You may also designate all or part of your United Way pledge, made through you place of employment, to MCC Toronto.

You can make your donation to the Church more convenient through Sustained-Giving (also known as E-Giving) What is Sustained-Giving? This is merely giving your gifts through electronic banking means like automatic bank account or credit card deductions. You can pick the frequency of the automatic deductions ranging from weekly, monthly to quarterly. It is private, safe and secure. How do I set it up? Contact our Development Associate, Jennifer O'Connor (416) 406-6228 ext 111 who will take care of it for you. What are the advantages of e-giving? You won't have to worry about cash or loose change when the plate gets passed around during each Sunday Service. You get your air miles or reward points through certain bank account or credit card deductions! You don't have to worry about missing your contribution when you cannot attend Sunday Service. The church gets your constant and steady support to provide the spiritual sanctuary for all, and carry out the wonderful programs that it offers. It cuts down on administrative work for the staff and enables them to put more energy into improving other areas in the church. 'But I feel strange not physically putting something into the plate on Sundays if I'm on E-Giving'… There are E-giving indicator cards found in the pews that you can put into the plate, just so you won't feel out of place (which is very common when anyone first starts on this plan). So come join many in the congregation that have already signed up!
