Why We Give
Giving is an act of worship, faith, and obedience that God honors as we help people know and follow Jesus.

Other Questions
How are my donations to Coastal used?
Unless marked otherwise, donations to Coastal Community Church support its General Operating Fund. This fund makes possible the day-to-day ministries and services of the church.
Can I schedule recurring donations?
Yes, you can specify whether you want your online donation made once, weekly, monthly, every two weeks, or twice a month.
Will I receive a donation statement?
Yes! Based on the contact information we have for you, we will first attempt to email your year-end giving statement. If email delivery is not successful, we will attempt to mail a printed statement to you.
How late in the year can I make a donation and receive a credit for this year’s taxes?
Per IRS regulations, donations for each year must be postmarked, initiated, or received by December 31 in order to receive credit for that year’s tax purposes. Please submit your online, mailed, or in-person donation accordingly.
Are there fees involved with online giving?
There are no fees incurred by the donor when giving online to Coastal. However, there are small service fees incurred by Coastal for accepting online donations. These fees are approximately 1% of the donation for bank transfers and 3% for credit/debit cards.
