Online Giving\/Tithing<\/h3>\t\t\t

Offering is a privilege and responsibility for members. Our encouragement is for each member to prayerfully seek God\u2019s guidance for how they ought to be giving in this season. All offering goes towards funding ministries locally and globally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We encourage the congregation to offer online through e-transfer or online banking. If you choose to give offering via cheque, we ask that you write the church’s full name “North Toronto Chinese Baptist Church”. The banks no longer accept the short form NTCBC as a valid payee.<\/span><\/p>\n

For more details on online giving, including how to add NTCBC as an ‘online bill payee’,\u00a0 click here.<\/u><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
