CYPRESS MEADOWS
How can I give?
Several safe and secure methods of giving provide convenient ways to offer our tithes and financially contribute to Cypress Meadows.
- Weekend services: Simply place cash or checks in the offering basket during the collection at any weekend service. Tithing envelopes can be picked up just outside the auditorium doors with the programs. Be sure to include your name and address on the check or envelope, so that donation credit may be provided for tax purposes.
- Through PayPal: Online giving allows for a specific dollar amount to be deducted automatically from a checking or savings account or paid via credit card. You can set up online giving either as a one-time donation or a recurring gift. Online giving is not only easy, it's also safe and secure. This option helps individuals and families remain faithful in their giving even when they are out of town or unable to attend a weekend service. Simply click on the PayPal button below.
- By mail: Mail your donation to Cypress Meadows office at 2180 North McMullen Booth Road, Clearwater, FL 33759. Be sure to include your name and address on the check or envelope so that donation credit may be provided for tax purposes.
- Through Your Bank: Automatic bill pay allows for a specific dollar amount to be deducted monthly from a checking or savings account directly through your bank. This option helps individuals and families remain faithful in their giving even when they are out of town or unable to attend a weekend service. Contact your banking establishment to arrange for recurring automatic bill pay.
Where do my donations to Cypress Meadows go?
- General Operating Fund: Donations to Cypress Meadows support its General Operating Fund. This fund makes possible the day-to-day ministries and services of the church. If no special fund is designated on the memo line of your check or on your envelope, funds will be directed here.
- Special funds: Periodically, opportunities to designate a donation to a specific ministry initiative become available. Haiti Student Sponsorships and the Year-End Offering are two examples of ministry-initiative funds with specific start and end dates. To designate your contribution to a specific fund, simply indicate the name of the initiative (e.g., Haiti or YEO) on the memo line of your check or on your envelope.
Thanks for your interest in supporting the ministries of Cypress Meadows Community Church. Your financial support enables us to be God’s hands both locally and globally.
Since 2003, Cypress comes together to sponsor students at our sister church and school in St. Louis du Nord, Haiti. Our annual goal is to sponsor 300 of the 700 students in the school. Without our help, these students simply would not get an elementary education and many would be forced into slavery – or what is know as a “reste-avec”. Reste-avec’s have very demanding, abusive and difficult lives.
Sponsorship funds go directly to the school and will cover a years tuition, books and supplies, a uniform, and pay teachers’ salary. To fully fund a child for a year, the cost is $135 and we do have monthly options available.
With your donation you will receive a sponsorship card that includes the child’s name, photo, and some basic information.
Sponsorships will have to be renewed each year and you will have the option of sponsoring the same child again
(assuming they have not graduated).
Thank you for the way you extend God’s love and grace to the people in Haiti!
