Donations in the EKV

"For I testify that according to their ability, and beyond their ability they gave of their own accord, begging us with much entreaty for the favor of participation in the support of the saints, and this, not as we had expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God." - 2 Corinthians 8:3-5

EKV Finances

Our work is completely dependent on the gifts of church members. Subsidies are not available for our work.

According the the Bible, every church member is free in grace to determine what his contribution will be. This voluntary contribution is deposited in the general fund of the church. The ongoing costs are paid out of this fund. For one area there is a separate fund, Noahs Arc Children Ministry Uganda. There is more information about this ministry on the Missions page of this website. Periodically special collections are made and there are projects that the church participates in such as the annual Shoe Box project from Actie 4 Kids. 

 How can you participate financially in this work?

There are various ways to support the work of our church. These include:

· cash donation on Sunday in the box on the welcome table or the bar.
· Bank - by setting up a periodic transfer to the church account.
· Bank - by setting up a regular monthly contribution.

EKV is a regiterd charitable orgainzation (ANBI) with the Dutch Tax Service. Donations are deductible from your Dutch taxes.

Making deposits
