Giving

Your Generosity Fuels the Mission

Thanks in Advance!

Thank you for your interest in partnering with us! We understand that money can be a sensitive subject. It’s one of the top things that couples argue about. Here at New Life we know that God doesn’t need our money but when He asks us to give, and when we worship through giving, we demonstrate that we trust God with one of the most precious things we have.

When you give to New Life, your investment fuels our mission. Together, our resources and generosity are making an impact locally and around the world. Below is more information with opportunities to give. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! Email giving@newlife.church or call us at 703.222.8836.

Mail a Check

Yup. We still take checks. Make it out to NLCC and send it to:

New Life Christian Church
14550 Lee Road
Chantilly, VA 20151

The first time you’ll follow a quick, self-guided setup process. After that, donating is as easy as sending a text.

Corporate Matches

Did you know that Dell, IBM, and other companies match gifts given to charities. Some companies match dollar for dollar to double your gift. Imagine how much that can add up over a year? New Life is a part of several of these programs including YourCause, Benevity and Truist. If your company will match donations but you can’t find New Life as a charity in the program, contact us and we can help.

Stock or Other Asset

If you would like to discuss donating a stock or other asset such as a car, please email giving@newlife.church. We can discuss what we can and cannot accept and help you maximize your donation. For example, donating stock rather than selling it and donating the proceeds may save as much as 30% in taxes. We’re here to help.

Regardless of which donation method you choose, you can track all your donations to New Life through Planning Center Online and will receive a donation receipt at the end of the year. New Life is a 501(c)(3) charitable religious organization.

Thanks for your contributions.

It’s only through your generosity we are able to accomplish the work God has for us.

Giving FAQ

What Accountability is in Place?

New Life Christian Church finances are overseen by our Executive Pastor of Business (Tim Mulcahy) and our Finance Team who serve at the request of our Leadership Team. We have an independent accountant who uses GAAP to make our books easy for the Finance Team to review and for independent auditing purposes.

Does New Life Really give 12% of offerings to Church Planting?

We sure do. We believe in developing disciple makers who make a difference and we want to put our money where our mouth is. We invest 12% of all general fund (campus) donations toward church planting in the US and around the world. We believe in investing where God is working and want to model that as a church.

But that’s not all. We also give 10% of all our Making Room donations to church planting and another 1% of our offerings to other global missions work.

What kinds of fees are associated with gifts that I make to New Life?

There are no fees associated with cash and checks that you give directly to New Life through the offering on the weekends or by mail, including checks that you directly initiate through your bank. Online ACH transactions you make are reduced by a small $0.30 per transaction fee. Online Credit/Debit Card transactions are reduced by a $0.30 per transaction fee plus an additional 2.15%.

So, if you set up a weekly $500 donation, it works out like this:

Credit Card: $10.75 (2.15% of $500) + $0.30 x 52 weeks = $574.60 in fees annually.
ACH Bank Transfer: $0.30 x 52 weeks = $15.60 in fees annually.

Please note: The above fees are not paid by you, but rather are charged to New Life unless you check the box on our giving portal to add the fees to your donation. Thanks for considering giving in ways that minimize fees

What is our security policy?

Your personal and financial information is held securely by New Life Christian Church and Planning Center Online (our database and giving portal). Only a handful of people have access to donor records. This information will remain private and will never be given away to third parties.

What is our refund policy?

You can schedule new contributions at any time and can modify or cancel those contributions at any time prior to the date they are scheduled. Under certain circumstances refunds can be made. The circumstances include how long it has been since the donation was made and refunds cannot be made for gifts given before the current calendar year. Refunds typically take 2 full weeks to process and will not be processed until your donation has fully cleared. If you encounter any problems adjusting your contribution or have any questions related to this process, please contact us at giving@newlife.church or call the church office at 703-222-8836.
