Thank you for giving to Portage Avenue Church and supporting our mission!

We have several methods that you can use to give to the church. We humbly ask for your contact information so that we may issue you a tax receipt in February for your past calendar year's donations. If you wish to give anonymously then you are welcome to put cash in our offering plate on Sundays or drop off in an unmarked envelope into our secure mailbox at the south door.

Each gift designated toward an approved program will be used as designated with the understanding that when any given need has been met the designated gift will be used where needed most.

When you are logged into Connect you may access your "My Giving History" to see your donations for the year. If you have any questions please email accounting@pachurch.ca. Please note that e-transfers and cash/cheques are entered manually into Connect on a weekly basis, generally on Tuesdays.

Option 1: Donation plates during our Sunday service

The offering plates are located on a table at the back of the sanctuary near where you walk into the sanctuary from the foyer. There are donation envelopes also on the table for you to use. If you have a church mailbox simply put your mailbox number on the envelope and indicate how you would like to designate your offering. You can put cash or cheques into the envelopes. If it is your first time giving please fill in your name and address and email on the envelope. If you would like a church mailbox please email office@pachurch.ca and let us know.

Option 2: E-transfers

Portage Avenue Church is set up for autodeposit, so there is no need to create a password during the e-transfer process. When an e-transfer is received we receive an email notification. A tax receipt will be emailed in Feb to the sender email from the email notification. There is no cost to PAC to receive e-transfers.

1. Login to your personal online banking website
2. Select e-transfer
3. When creating a contact for PAC, use this email address exactly: payments@pachurch.ca

Option 3: Monthly Pre-Authorized Debits (PAD) from your bank account

For people who wish to have the same amount automatically debited from their account on the 1st of each month. Please note that you will need to sign a PAD agreement and send your banking information (like a void cheque or direct deposit form downloaded from your online banking.) We use Telpay as our provider of this service and it generally costs PAC $1 per donation per month.

PAC PAD agreement

Please download the form then complete and sign it. Please bring it to the church office or mail it along with your banking info to 1420 Portage Ave, Winnipeg, MB R3G 0W2. If you have any questions please call the office @ 204.774.4414 ext 0 or email accounting@pachurch.ca

Option 4: Credit Card

You may give through our Connect website via credit card. PAC is charged a reduced credit card fee for each transaction, but the system will prompt if you would like to give a little extra to cover the fee. It is at your discretion whether you would like to or not. In order to give via credit card you must be logged into Connect. This is to help protect the church against fraud. If you have any trouble logging in please contact the office at 204.774.4414 or email accounting@pachurch.ca. Donations made this way automatically appear in your Giving History.
