Thanks for your interest in supporting New Life Church financially.
As followers of Jesus, we don't give to the local church out of obligation, but rather as a response to the undeserved favor God has shown us. As an act of acknowledging God's control & ownership of our lives, we give back to Him through the local church. Giving back to God changes lives - ours and the people we're impacting.
Your financial support & generosity enables us to create environments for you and your family to invite your unchurched neighbors to connect with God & others. Your support also helps us support charitable work locally & globally. Your donations to New Life Church are tax-deductible, and we provide each donor with an itemized giving statement every January.
Donations may be made by clicking one of the buttons below, by mailing a check, by giving in an online service, by setting up New Life Church on your BillPay, or through stock donations.
General Offerings / Tithe
For those that call New Life Church their home, the "tithe" is a standard that is taught in the Bible. Giving the first 10% of our income to the church is one way for us to put God first in our lives. It is an act of worship that shows our faith in God, gratitude to Him, and our love for other people.
Local Benevolent Fund (LBF)
The Local Benevolence Fund expresses the church’s commitment to a compassionate local ministry by providing direct financial assistance to individuals and families in crisis. Support may be extended to members of the church family as well as to community walk‑ins whose needs come to the church’s attention. Typical recipients include refugees, people experiencing homelessness, single parents, those facing physical or mental illness, and elderly neighbors who lack adequate resources.
Local Compassion Fund (LCF)
Our Local Compassion Fund is set aside to help specific people groups directly or via other non-profits in our local communities. We run a food pantry together with our sister church Trinitas Silicon Valley in Santa Clara that helps about 35 families by donating food to them every other Saturday. We give to organizations like Foster the City, Help One Child, City Team and West Valley Community Services to support their great work for unhoused people, foster children, people in rehab etc.
Difference between New Life Church’s Local Compassionate Ministry and Local Benevolent Fund:
The Local Benevolence Fund (LBF) provides direct financial assistance to individuals and families, and it is supported only by designated gifts given specifically for that purpose—not by the church’s general offerings.
By contrast, Local Compassionate Ministry supports broader community initiatives, including partnerships with local nonprofits and community‑impact projects. Its funding may come from designated contributions or from the church’s general donations, depending on how the church chooses to resource these larger efforts.
Together they respond to God’s call for compassion.
Global Compassion
We support global projects that help people in developing countries with medical care, disaster relief, and building costs. All donations go directly to the projects.
Alabaster Offering
This offering funds building projects for hospitals, orphanages, schools, and churches. These are more than buildings. These are buildings that can change and save lives. All money donated goes towards these building projects.
