Giving changes lives.
We give because we stand amazed at God’s gift to us in his Son and we want others to know that gift as well.
You’re invited to invest in the gospel going out in Surry Hills, Sydney and beyond
We give because...
At Vine Church, we believe that the only way to understand any aspect of life is to view it through the lens of the story of Jesus (the gospel). In 2 Corinthians 8:9, Paul discusses the impact the story of Jesus should have on the way Christians understand wealth:
‘For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.’
Seeing Christ’s sacrificial love for us, that he gave up everything so that we could inherit the riches of heaven, helps us develop a healthy attitude toward our material possessions and become people who are both generous and joyful.

TAX DEDUCTIBLE GIVING
Giving to the Vine Church Foundation is tax deductible. Currently we are able to receive gifts for the following purposes: Building Renewal, Care Fund, Scholarships and Bread of Life. An annual tax receipt will be sent in July of every year. There are multiple ways to give within the Vine Church Foundation:
Frequently Asked Questions:
Jesus warned that it is impossible to serve both God and money (Matt 6:24). One of the ways we demonstrate the fact that we worship God and not our money is by giving it away.
Paul told the Ephesians elders, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’ (Acts 20:35). The act of giving is spiritually enriching.
In the Old Testament, God’s people were encouraged to give a tithe (10%) of their income back to him. By the time we reach the New Testament, a new principle is introduced-sacrificial generosity. Sacrificial generosity replaces the Old Testament principle of tithing. So, rather than being commanded to give10%, Christians are now called to show generosity in response to God’s grace shown to us in Jesus Christ. Even though the New Testament does not lay upon us the old law of 10%, it would seem rather inconsistent with the gospel of grace for us to conclude that we should give any less than 10%. Paradoxically, grace actually lifts the bar on generosity rather than lowering it. If you want to know what generosity looks like, why not try starting with a tithe and see if you can build up from there? Let the tithe be your springboard for generosity.
Donating to the charitable activities of Vine Church is a great way to contribute to the gospel, whilst also boosting your tax return. A tax deductible gift or donation will reduce your taxable income, resulting in a higher refund on tax paid throughout the year or a reduced ATO debt when you complete your tax return.
Vine Church has the status of a deductible gift recipient (DGR) for our Foundation Activities: Scholarships, Care fund, Connect Building Renewal and Bread of Life.
For more information, please contact our senior pastor or wardens.
