Why We Give

All that we do at Bayview Glen, including why we give, is so that everyone, everywhere, can experience God's love and our created purpose in Jesus. Thank you for modelling what it looks like to live generously when you give to Bayview Glen!

What We Give Towards

At Bayview Glen, we operate as a church on free-will donations. The donations we receive help us serve in three areas:

General Fund

These donations help us run healthy and thriving ministries for our kids, students, and adults.

Missions Fund

These donations help us to provide resources to our missionary partners in Toronto, throughout Canada, and worldwide.

Benevolence Fund

These donations help us to provide compassionate, short-term assistance to individuals and families facing crisis. It also seeks to support preventive care initiatives, create supports that facilitate accessibility, and collaborate with community partners to promote long-term stability and holistic well-being.
