Account Number: 02-0120-0148165-00

Account Name: Long Bay Baptist Church

Code: [Your donor number] 

Reference: leave this BLANK for all tithes and offerings as donations go towards where it is most needed in our church life

All donations over $5.00 are tax deductible in New Zealand. With a donor number, all your tithes and
offerings will be recorded and combined into one annual receipt. This is emailed to you following the
31 March each year.

You can use this receipt to claim back 33% from Inland Revenue.

Many members choose to re-donate this 33% refund back towards church ministries in March so it's a gift that keeps on giving!

You can email our church office and request a donor number here

Carry on with your donation.  We can match up your donation with your number and also remind you of the number for future donations if you let us know by emailing treasurer@longbaybaptist.co.nz

Regular giving helps keep our church strong, sustainable, and able to plan well for the future.

For those who are newer to our church community, or for anyone who would like to move to regular giving, even a small, consistent gift makes a meaningful difference over time. It’s the habit and faithfulness of giving that matters most. 

It's up to you whether you choose weekly, fortnightly or monthly.  All gifts are deeply appreciated.

If you need any help, please contact our treasurer in our church office, or any of our staff are happy to help you set this up on your phone or laptop if you bring this to church during the week or on a Sunday morning.
