Give
Help our church bring hope and support to poor families in Nazareth
Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference. Your kindness can help a family eat tonight, bring a smile to a child’s face this Christmas, or keep someone warm this winter.
- Every gift supports families in need and our church building project.
- Help is given directly to families in our community, by people who know them.
- Records of distributions are kept and available to supporters on request.
Why give
Because a small gift can change a life
Our church in Nazareth exists to bring light, love and hope to people in need. We help families who are struggling to afford food, clothing and basic living needs. Many are elderly, single parents or refugees who have no one else to turn to. Through love and faith, we want to remind them that they are not forgotten.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
-
Is my donation secure?
Yes. Payments are handled by our payment provider over an encrypted connection. We never see or store your card details. If our online giving page is not yet open, the site will tell you and offer other ways to give.
-
Can I give monthly?
Yes, and regular giving is the most helpful kind, because it lets us plan food parcels and winter help in advance. Choose the monthly option when you give.
-
Where exactly does the money go?
To two things: direct support for families in need in Nazareth (food, clothing, winter help, single mothers, Christmas gifts for children) and our building project, so the church has a lasting home.
-
Can I give for a specific purpose?
Absolutely. If you would like your gift to go to the Christmas appeal, winter help, or the building project, tell us and we will honour it.
-
Can I give from outside the United States?
Yes. Card payments work internationally. If your card is declined, contact us and we will find another way for you to give.
-
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Tax treatment depends on your country. Ask us for the information you need and we will give you whatever documentation we can provide.
