financial transparency
Advancing Kingdom Work
We are stewards of the gifts God has given to us and as a church Lake Ridge works to make financial decisions that are thoughtful, sustainable and also advance the work of the Kingdom. Our ministries go through an annual planning and budgeting process in January and budgets are brought forward to the membership for approval at our annual meeting in March. Our spending as a church is limited to the programs and projects as outlined in our annual budget.
Tax Receipts
Lake Ridge Community Church is a registered Canadian charity (Charitable BN / Registration #: 822816237 RR0001). The majority of our funding comes from donations from those who join in as part of our community – thank you for your support.
Donors will receive a tax-deductible receipt in February for all donations given during the previous calendar year. When making a onetime donation through Canada Helps you will receive your tax receipt at the time of donation.
Alberta has the most generous charitable tax credit program in Canada. Currently donors receive credit for 50% of donations beyond $200 each year. These credits can be carried forward for up to 5 years.
