Giving FAQs

It’s important to us that we operate with integrity, transparency, and accountability with what we’re given. Our staff and elders seek to steward what’s given to the church so that we can maximize our impact in the church and around the world.

  • What does giving support?

    Giving enables us to equip leaders and disciple the next generation through a variety of contexts, like groups and gatherings. It also pays our staff, and covers expenses related to the tangible needs of our ministry (i.e., utilities, rent, and technology).

  • Can I know what the budget is like?

    We send quarterly updates about our income and expenses to the whole church via email, and we also have a budget update each August with the whole congregation. In-between those times, our leaders welcome conversation about financial accountability.

  • Are gifts tax-exempt?

    Imago Dei is currently waiting on its own 501(c)3 application to be approved by the IRS. Until it is, we partner with Grace Gathering in New Haven, Indiana, for financial services and use their tax-exempt status to make sure your gifts are tax deductible.
