Ways to Give

Listed below are ways you can contribute tithe and offerings to the Ponoka Seventh-day Adventist Church. Electronic methods allow you to return your tithe and offerings online while you are on a long business trip, on vacation, or at other times when you are unable to attend church in person. You may consult the Offering Calendar to learn about the designated offerings for each week of the current calendar year.

A. Interac e-Transfers: etransfer@ponokaadventist.ca

Interac e-Transfer is the best way to return your Tithe and Offerings online as there are no service charges deducted from your donation. All that is required is access to your online or mobile banking through a participating financial institution.

To send an eTransfer:

  1. Fill in the registration form below. This is a one-time requirement to ensure we have your correct contact inforation for your charitable donations tax receipt.

  2. Initiate an Interac e-transfer. Login to your bank's online banking site and transfer funds using Interac.

  3. Send funds via email to "etransfer@ponokaadventist.ca".  To make recurring transfers easier, set up a new contact using this e-mail address with a name such as "Ponoka SDA Church".

  4. Specify the purpose of your donation. In the Interac e-transfer message/notes box, please specify for what purpose and amount the donation is being made (ex: tithe 600, church family budget 300, Alberta Conference Advance 150, Global Mission 150, etc.). If there is no note with your transfer, funds will be allocated to Church Family Budget. Categories are the same as on your tithe envelope.
