Why Give?
- We give because we have been given to.
- We give because we recognize that God has blessed us immensely and so we honor Him by giving back to Him out of our gifts. Therefore, we do not give out of guilt or to earn our salvation or to buy favor with God.
When you give, your gifts make it possible for Holy Cross Lake Mary to do the things you love and support and be the church you have come to know. Your gifts help support our Partner Organizations like The Sharing Center and Shepherd’s Hope. Your financial support also helps us bring you all the programming and events you enjoy at the church, from Sunday Morning Worship, the Youth Program and Family Serve to outreach opportunities like Trunk ‘R Treat and annual Easter Experience.
We strive to be good stewards of your donations and use them in Godly and appropriate ways. So you can be assured that your donation will have a positive impact on the world!
Online giving just got easier! Now you can schedule weekly, monthly, or one-time tithes and donations. This web page also provides you with easier ways of changing the frequency of your donations, viewing transaction history, updating your contact info or cancel automatic donations. If you have any questions, feel free to call the church office at (407) 333-0797

You can make an impact in the community and in your church that lasts beyond your lifetime. Contact Pastor Paul Hoyer if you’re interested in learning more about deferred gift planning.
