Giving is a central value and a transformative practice in the Christian life. As followers of Jesus, we give not out of obligation or to earn God’s favor, but as grateful recipients of His overwhelming generosity and grace. Those who truly understand the Gospel are marked by gratitude and a spirit of generosity. Just as Christ gave everything to save and redeem us, we offer every aspect of our lives as an expression of worship and thankfulness. Through generous discipleship, the beauty of the Gospel shines in our church, city, and world, bringing glory to God!
At River West, there are many ways to practice generosity. Whether you give a one-time gift, donate stocks or mutual funds, plan an IRA or estate gift, or set up a recurring donation, our leaders are dedicated to using every dollar faithfully to impact lives for Christ. We are deeply committed to stewarding every contribution in a way that advances Christ's kingdom and the Gospel.
Set up bill-pay with your bank to send a check directly to the Church.
Mail a check directly to the Church at 2000 Country Club Road, Lake Oswego, OR 97034.
During the month of December, many people give year-end contributions of cash or stocks. Please note that in order for your donation to be tax deductible for the current tax year, it must be received at the church office or postmarked by December 31. If you are interested in donating stocks, please contact Julie Messenger.
Online donations can also be made up to December 31 using the Make a Gift button above.
