Financial Support
A person can financially support a missionary through a one time gift or monthly support by:
- Giving your support check in the church offering during the worship service, designating who your support check is directed to in the “memo” part of the check, or…
- Simply include your missions giving in your regular weekly church offering. Currently 10% of Camano Chapel’s annual budget is earmarked for missionary efforts, and each missionary we support receives a monthly support check from the general fund.
(Note: All checks are made out to Camano Chapel with the missionary’s name in the memo or on your tithe envelope.)
