For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:21

​There are many ways to give:

​Cash or Check:
You can give by cash or check during our weekly services. You can also drop off at the church office or mail your gift.
Online:
You can give gifts online through our secure giving portal. There you can designate your gift to general operating expenses or to specific funds such as memorials, Bethel dedicated funds, or ELCA programs. 

You don't need to be a member to give online.
​Simply Giving:
In addition to sharing your offering during worship, you have the option of signing up for an automated giving program online or making a one-time Gift/Donation through your checking account or via credit card. Click here to download the form.  It makes regular giving "Simple"! 

​If you have questions regarding Simply Giving, or to access your existing account, contact finance@bethelnorthfield.org.

Securities:
​Did you know you can make a charitable donation to Bethel using appreciated stock?  This type of gift normally qualifies for a charitable deduction while also avoiding capital gains taxes.  The easiest way to proceed is contact your broker to start a transfer of stock to Bethel's brokerage account.  Please contact bethelnorthfield.org, regarding the details of your stock gift or for more information. ​

​IRA Charitable Transfer:
An IRA Charitable Transfer allows you to make a gift to Bethel directly from your IRA, pay no taxes on the transfer and count the gift toward your required minimum distribution.  If you are age 70.5 or older and you would like to make a gift directly from your IRA, contact your plan administrator for the appropriate form.  In addition to including the donor name on the check, you may need to provide the following information:

Time & Talent:
Of course we'll gladly accept your financial contribution but giving at Bethel is about SO much more!  Bethel members give of their time & talent just as generously as with their financial gifts.  Our Service Opportunities and Worship Servants pages detail just a few of the ways you can share your time and talents within and outside of Bethel's walls.
