what's this giving thing all about anyway?
"Churches just want my money, and that bugs me."
"I'm not going someplace where they'll make me feel guilty for not putting money in a collection box."
We get that. Which is why when we mention giving during our Sunday services we say something like, "If you are a guest or visitor with us today, please don’t feel obligated to give. This service is our gift to you."
So why bring it up at all, and why have a 'donate' page on this website?
At The Meeting Place in Nanaimo, we give away a portion of our income to the great mission of this church because we love it! We love watching what happens in our lives when we experience God providing for our needs and the needs of our community when we trust enough to give a percentage of our income away to charity. We love experiencing the freedom found in generosity as we follow the example of Christ, and the dawning realization that when we let go and give, money loses its control over us. Money doesn't worry us like it used to. It doesn't consume us or enslave us anymore.
So, we've made it easy for you.
Choose one of the options above and you'll be able to contribute to The Meeting Place. You’ll be issued a receipt for income tax purposes.
And sincerely, thank you!

- Giving is an opportunity for you - for all of us - to regain our freedom in a world where money is god.
- Giving is an opportunity to participate in the positive life change that happens in the lives of people on Vancouver Island through The Meeting Place Church week after week.
