A generous life is a blessed life. That's what Jesus taught. We are a community of disciples who understand that there is delight in sacrificially giving our time, treasure, and talents to God's kingdom.
We believe that because of Jesus we are richer than we think or could ever imagine. And because of God's great generosity towards us - his incomparably great love, his limitless spiritual power, his endless reserve of grace - we can give to others with glad hearts and open arms. We can approach life with an abundance mentality rather than a scarcity mindset.
Where to Give
Crosspoint's finances are managed through five separate funds (General, Global, Local, Capital, and Special Projects). You can designate your donation to these funds or to a project within a fund:
General Fund
The General Fund covers the ministries and operations of Crosspoint, with the primary expenditures being the salaries of our staff and the occupancy costs of our campus. The General fund also includes ministry and administration costs. Any donations without a specific designation are applied to the General Fund.
Local Fund
This budget allows our staff to effectively disperse amounts to the community as needed. This includes both the Crosspoint community as well as the community surrounding our campus. We want to support fellow Crosspointers, our local community, and organizations demonstrating God's love to our neighbourhood.
Capital Fund
We want to steward well the building and property we have been given, and that means raising funds for proper maintenance, capital replacements and the unexpected. Capital funds are used to purchase equipment, complete building renovations, maintain systems and make repairs.
- Crosspoint Kitchen Connection: Campus Kitchen Renovation and Upgrades.
Global Fund
Finally, we want to continue to foster our missional vision by intentionally supporting those on mission both locally and globally. One way we do this is by making contributions to the Global Advance Fund (GAF) stewarded by The Alliance Canada. All donations given to the Global Fund are dispersed as received.
-
For Freedom International: Within the Global Fund, for specifically supporting the Light Will Rise campaign with For Freedom International. See more information here.
Special Projects Fund
For specific, time-bound projects. You cannot donate to this fund, but you can donate to projects within this fund.
- Foundation Fund: Raising Money for North Ground taxes, exemptions and development.
You will receive a tax-deductible receipt for all donations, including those made online.

CREDIT CARD DISCLAIMERS:
The online option enables you to donate by using your credit card. Crosspoint Church is accepting credit card donations for your convenience. We believe strongly that consumer debt is an epidemic problem in our culture and we do not want to be contributors to it. So please use this service for credit card donations only if you intend to pay off the amount before month’s end. We encourage all of our donors to exercise wise stewardship of their resources so that they can be liberated from debt and empowered to use their resources to build God’s kingdom.
PROJECTS DISCLAIMER:
In compliance with CRA requirements, any donations designated for special projects will not be returned to the donor if the project cannot be carried out. This practice includes any unused donations from a project. These funds will instead be applied to future similar projects.
