Every Day Generosity at West Valley Church
As a church, we believe that we are called to respond to the generosity of the gospel by giving extravagantly to the progress of the gospel in our community and world. Biblical generosity is not about meeting budget needs. It is about a rich and trusting relationship with a living God. We express our faith and love to Him by honoring Him as the source of everything we have. Scriptural giving is performed with regularity, from the first portion of all we are given, as a proportion of our income, cheerfully, and without pressure or manipulation.
"I am praying that you will put into action the generosity that comes from your faith as you understand and experience all the good things we have in Christ."
- Philemon 1:6

Giving FAQs
Common questions about giving to help you understand our giving process.
Yes, West Valley Church is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. All gifts are tax-deductible. We provide a quarterly and an annual giving statement for your records.
Tithing is our starting place in giving. The Bible teaches us about a baseline standard for giving: the tithe (a word that literally means a “tenth”). When we give the first 10% of our income through the local church, we put God first in our lives. Tithing is an act of worship that expresses our gratitude, faith, and love for others. God also encourages us to give offerings beyond our tithe to specific projects at our local church and to other organizations and causes that we personally believe in.
Whether you’d like to give a single gift, schedule recurring tithes and offerings, or view your giving history, you can do it all online. It’s quick, easy, and secure. PushPay uses industry-standard encryption and secure payment gateways to protect your financial information during online transactions. That means you can give with confidence!
We are happy to be able to offer online giving as an option for individuals and families as they make choices about their church giving. Online giving has several advantages: you can conveniently manage your giving from home; schedule regular gifts on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis; and generate reports for record-keeping and tax purposes.
