Be part of the 200!

Our discipleship and trust in God is deeply connected to how we view and manage the resources we’ve been given. This year, we hope to welcome 200 new regular givers into the adventure of what God is doing through Cityate Church.

Why should I give?

Giving is a way we show our love and trust in Jesus, who gave everything for us. It’s an act of faith that reflects what’s in our hearts.

By giving to Citygate, you support all of our ministries that reach people who don’t yet know Jesus and help make disciples. Your gift supports our children, youth, and student programs, pastoral care, staff salaries, feeding the homeless and more! Regular giving is what allows these ministries to grow and thrive.

If you have any questions relating to giving, please email finance@citygate.church.

What’s your next step?

  • Start giving

    Join us in seeing 200 new regular givers become part of what God is doing through our church.

  • Be intentional and consistent

    Let generosity be something we plan, not just something we feel.

  • Make it proportional and sacrificial 

    Give in a way that reflects both gratitude and trust.

  • Revisit and recalibrate

    Take time to review your current giving and ask God what faithfulness looks like in this season.

    Serving

    God has given everything in His son Jesus and he has also given us gifts as His children. One of the ways that we honour and worship Him is to use these gifts in service to others.
