Please send a note if you wish you'r donation to go to the community outreach program, the youth group ministry, or if it is you'r tithe to the church. If there are no specifications included with you'r donation it will be used in the storehouse of God as needed.
Our outreach program includes food , clothing, and some monies for the needy in our community.
Our youth ministry is making big plans for this summer and will have many projects going. The use of the old elementry school will allow us to have a gym and outside game area. Teenagers all love to eat and we will be serving snack lunches and perhaps having some pizza parties. All donations are appreaciated.
Our small country church is dependant upon donations and offerings for all our activities. It is our commitment to see that all offerings and tithes go to further the gospel and bless the community.
Thank you for agreeing with us in prayer , that God's love is seen and felt in all we say and do.
We are growing and of course growth means change. An enlarged parking area will allow easy access to services. Summer is an active time here at Ivy Ridge and we hope you will be able to join us soon. Continue in prayer for us and thank you in advance for all donations and offerings.
Pray for our youth and expect to see many great adventures posted as they respond to God's call to service.

Tips on giving to your place of worship
There are many ways of giving back to your church or other religious institution, including tithing, or giving 10% of your personal wealth to God; cash donations, which may be collected during weekly services; and planned donations, which may involve a set donation schedule, or a bequest upon your death.
As with all charitable organizations, there are several basic guidelines to follow when making donations to your church or other religious institution: - Plan your donation into your budget just as you would any with any financial obligation. This is especially important if you tithe or chose a planned donation option.
- Don't be afraid to ask questions, including how much of your gift will be used for administrative costs. Other questions you might consider are whether or not the organization has a plan for success and whether their goals are compatible with the requirements of your specific religious beliefs.
- Keep records, as your gift may be tax deductible. Also, be sure you know how much is deductible.
- Think about alternative forms of giving such as bequests, charitable gift annuities, and endowments.
- Volunteer your time.
