At Riverbend Bible Church, we want to stay out of the way between your donations and the Lord. Any donations made are recorded to ensure they go to the right place and so that, at the end of the financial year, the giving receipt is accurate (should you want one).
Only designated Riverbend staff responsible for finances have access to these records—elders and deacons do not see individual financial details—ensuring that your giving remains as private as possible. Even so, our staff deliberately practice “wilful ignorance,” reviewing only what is necessary for accurate record-keeping.
At the end of each financial year, all donation information is securely collated while donor details are kept separate, then merged solely for receipt generation. In doing so, we endeavour to maintain the spirit of Matthew 6:3, ensuring that your giving remains a personal, confidential act between you and the Lord.
