Giving
At Redemption, we are passionate about seeing lives changed in our city and around the world. Be part of what God is doing here.
Giving is part of how we worship God and take part in what He’s doing through the local church. It’s not about obligation — but generosity shaped by grace.
Ways to Give
How Each Giving Option Works
Direct Deposit
Direct deposit is a simple way to give directly from your bank account and is the most efficient option for both you and our church. Most banks also let you set up recurring donations, making it simple and consistent.
To setup direct deposit, watch the short video below and contact us for your account number.
This is the preferred giving option as it involves fewer bank fees, keeping more of your offering in the church.

E-Transfers
E-transfers can be sent to give@rbclondon.ca.
If this is your first time giving to Redemption, or if you’ve recently moved, please include your full name and address in the message field of your e-transfer. This information is required to issue a tax receipt.
Credit Card
Credit card donations are processed through a secure online payment provider, allowing you to give a one-time gift or set up recurring donations.
Please note: credit card donations incur a processing fee for the church, which you’ll have the option to cover when giving.
In Person
You can also give in person during any of our Sunday services by cash or cheque (made payable to Redemption Bible Chapel). Simply place your gift in one of the offering boxes located throughout the building, ensuring your full name and mailing address are clearly written on the envelope.

Organization And Charitable Status
Redemption Bible Chapel is a registered charity with the Canada Revenue Agency, and incorporated in the province of Ontario. Each year the church files an Annual Information form with the Charities Directorate in compliance with federal regulations.
Annual Budget Process
Each fall, an operational budget is prepared for review, analysis, questions, and approval by the elders. Each ministry is required to present a budget for the year, based on a zero-based budgeting process. The operating budget is fundamental to our accountability, transparency, and integrity. Staff compensation is approved by non-staff elders and is compared with industry standards in North America to ensure it falls within acceptable parameters when compared to the overall budget of the church.
Monthly Financial Review
Monthly financial statements are prepared and compared to the operational budget to ensure spending is on track and any anomalies are flagged.
Annual Audit
To ensure maximum transparency and assurance Redemption Bible Chapel is operating according to all regulations, RBC hires a professional accounting firm, experienced in audits, to conduct an annual audit of its financial statements. Since RBC is incorporated, an independent audit is also required by law. RBC’s year-end is December 31, and the audit is usually completed by June each year. For a copy of the audited financial statements, contact the office at info@rbclondon.ca.
Confidential Donor Information
Donor information is kept in strict confidence. Per our policies, elders and pastors do not have access to donor information as our Finance team keeps this information in strict confidence.
