Local Church.

Local Mission.

The dreams we’ve shared over the past year are big goals, and you might be wondering how you can make a difference. That’s why as part of the Go Project, we’re asking you to START HERE.

  • Our goal is to finish our fiscal year strong by raising an additional $25,000 on top of our regular giving. We want to challenge our regular givers to consider giving an additional gift this month. If you give occasionally, our challenge to you is to commit to giving regularly. And if you have not given to HTC North Side before, our challenge to you is to make your first gift this month.

  • Volunteers are at the heart of every ministry at the North Side. One of the biggest ways you can serve your local church is through prayer. Next, consider how you might be able to volunteer on a Sunday morning or throughout the week. To start serving, reach out to northside@htcchicago.org.

  • Both local and global missions is essential to our ministry at the North Side. Your financial gifts to the North Side allows us to support ministries in 8 countries. We’re also committed to local missions through our partnership with organizations like Chicagoland Prison Outreach.

  • Being present and involved in our local communities on the north side of Chicago is one of our top priorities. This is why we launched the Go Project in 2023.

Where does your giving go?

As a church that does not currently own property, our primary investment is in people. Your giving is what makes it possible for us to host services on a weekly basis, pay our employees, and contribute to gospel work happening here in Chicago and around the world supporting missions via our Global Ministry Partners.

If you would like to give to HTC North Side, there are multiple ways to give.

  • Gifts During the Service

    You can give through cash or check in the offering bag during Sunday worship. Each week general fund offering is taken, but on the second Sunday of the month Holy Trinity Church takes an additional offering for the deacon fund.

  • Online Automatic Giving

    You can also give using a debit card, credit card, or a bank account withdrawal. If you would like to have your gift debited weekly or monthly select "Yes, set up recurring" under the total amount you would like to give. This will allow you the freedom to ensure your donation is processed timely throughout the year.

    Give via Pushpay

  • Send a Check in the Mail

    Send a check to our central offices. Please indicate in the memo line which congregation or ministry area which you would like to contribute (e.g., North Side, Pilsen, deacon offering). Mail your checks to:

    Holy Trinity Church

    c/o financial administrator

    228 S. Wabash Ave., Suite 300

    Chicago, IL 60604

  • Online Bill Payment Through Your Bank

    Most banks have a free option to send one-time or recurring gifts/payments through your online banking account. This is similar to sending a check in the mail, but instead your bank will electronically generate a check and send it through the mail to the Holy Trinity Church office. This saves you time and postage. Plus, you can track your giving through your online banking account. Contact your bank to see if they provide this option. Mail giving to the above address, and be sure to indicate the congregation or ministry to which you are giving.

Because of the generosity God has shown us through the gospel of Jesus Christ we respond by giving of our whole lives.

We are thankful for your partnership!

We give financially because it demonstrates our worship of Jesus and mobilizes our ability to partner together for the renewal of the city with the gospel of Jesus. We never want anyone to give out of obligation but out of joy and the awareness that God owns it all and we are stewards of His blessings.

 FAQs

  • Old Testament – The word tithe is derived from the Old Testament. God instructed his people to give a tithe to help fund the ministry of the priests (Numbers 18:21-29; 27:30). The word tithe means 10%. In the Old Testament, a tithe referred to the 10% of their income that the people of God would give, but this was often just a starting place for their giving. The Lord also required gifts for the poor, festivals, and on other occasions. This was a way to teach and remind the people of God that everything they had belonged to God and everything they needed would be provided to them by God.

    New Testament – In the New Testament, Jesus’s call and the church’s practice was that of generosity -- even radical generosity. A tithe can be seen not as a law to fulfill, but a basic guideline, a starting point for those seeking to grow in maturity. In addition to radical generosity, 2 Corinthians 8-9 shows us that as Christians who have been forgiven all and given everything we need we can give joyfully, generously, and sacrificially. Everything belongs to the Lord (Psalm 50:10).

  • Tithe literally means “tenth.” In the Old Testament, the tithe referred to God’s people giving the first 10 percent of their gross income to God. We use this definition as a target or marker.

  • No. we use the definition of tithe as a target or goal to work towards. For some, this may be a goal to work towards over time. Others may work towards a higher % based on their circumstance, while others may not be able to give 10%. We believe all Christians should consider what it looks like for them to give sacrificially. We should be growing in generosity and joy in the Lord.

  • No. Our finance administrator does do giving analysis and process donor statements, but church leaders only review summarized and anonymized giving data. Your contribution will not be viewed on an individual basis.
