Donations
Contributions are used to serve the residents of Tofield and area through regular Christian worship, educational programs, service projects, as well as Christian Missions.
Our church supports various ministries, but asks that all gifts be directly sent to these ministries and not to Bardo, to simplify our book-keeping. Gifts with no specific designation go to the church's Operating Fund. The church reserves the right to deposit any gifts given to a non-designated fund into the general Operating Fund.
