WAYS TO GIVE

DONATE

DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know that you can give directly from your bank account? You might be wondering, "Does it matter?" The short answer to that question is no, it does not matter how you give because all of your gifts, regardless of the method, impact the gospel in a mighty way. However, gifts originating from your bank account result in much lower fees. This is especially useful if you give on a recurring basis. You can select "Bank Account" on the bottom right side of the giving app to give directory from your bank account which will result in your gifts going even further. Whatever method you choose, we thank you for your support and pray that you are blessed for your generosity.

'My New Hope' has been given a makeover! When you click on "My New Hope" from www.newhopeeastlake.org, you will be directed to our new Church Management Platform. Once you create an account, you will have access to your personalized page where you can view a summary of your giving, sign up for events, view upcoming events and more!

When you give online or use the giving envelopes, there are several options. Here is a brief guide to help ensure your gifts go to the right places:

GENERAL: Tithes, offerings and anything not defined.

BUILDING: These funds will be used for our new building.

MISSIONS: We have several missions activities we participate in throughout the year, so choose this option for any of those.

SPECIAL DESIGNATION: This one can be used for anything you define. This can range from children's ministry, KSG to an event. Just write a note in the memo if giving online or on your envelope letting us know which ministry or cause you're giving to.

At times, there will be options in the drop down (if giving online) for specific events, i.e. VBS, Compassion in Action, etc.

Giving More Without Spending More

Once upon a time, some crazy friends of mine in South Africa decided to take a road trip. As in, a roooaaad trip. Two couples packed up a Land Rover and a Land Cruiser and trekked overland for nearly six months, crossing borders all the way from Cape Town to Kenya and back again.

During their journey through the African continent, they visited several missionaries – some friends, and others they had never met before. Through these visits, they were convicted by the need that exists amongst those serving the Lord, often in relation to lack of resources and funding. Learn More

10 Prayers That Transform Your Finances

In our rapidly inflating and uncertain economy, money matters can drastically elevate our stress. Most of us remember the wide-sweeping mess that hit the workforce in 2008. Millions of people, some nearing retirement age, lost their jobs. Over four million foreclosures soon followed. Though things have improved a great deal since then, over 80 percent of today’s Americans find themselves in debt, some to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
