WAYS TO GIVE
That's the grace of Jesus; He was rich, but for us, he became poor, so through his poverty we might know true riches.

Where Does my offering go?
Your offering goes solely to support of the ministry of Oakland City Church, and her work in proclaiming the gospel, growing faith and helping those in need. In the New Testament, we are given two reasons for giving. Firstly, for the support of gospel ministry, and secondly for the provision for those in need in the community and more broadly. Your offering to OCC will always go to one of those two things.
Our budget is voted on by the Parish Council (the voting membership of our church) each year.
Our finance committee oversees the good stewardship of our resources and twice a year, we hold town hall meeting for updates on finances.
IS GIVING TAX DEDUCTIBLE?
Gifts to Oakland City Church are tax deductible. OCC is a subordinate of the Reformed Church in America which is an exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; TAX FEIN: 27-3268234. You will receive a donation receipt in January of the new year. Email questions to our administrator.
HOW IS GREATER THAN ONE DIFFERENT FROM GENERAL GIVING?
Our church is supported by the regular, faithful giving our regular members. But we also collect an offering most weeks for a person or organization in immediate need. You can give after each worship service, or you can go online here and use the drop-down menu to select ‘Greater Than One’. All giving to Greater Than One goes straight out the door of the church to those in need. We’ve helped get people out of prison, kept the lights on and got single moms’ cars back on the road. It’s the church, being the church.
