WORSHIP SERVICES
During the weekend services, we have a time of dedicating our tithes and offerings to God in prayer. This is an opportunity to give to God during the service. Offering plates are typically passed right after worship.
POSTAL MAIL
Church attendees also have the option to mail tithes and offerings using standard postal mail. Please indicate in the check memo box what the money is designated for (example: tithe or church building fund). Checks and money orders are acceptable. For security reasons, please do not mail cash.
Checks (or money orders) should be written out to Living Hope Community Church and mailed to: Living Hope Community Church, 740 W State St, Fox Lake, WI 53933
GIFTS IN KIND
If you have real property, assets, or something you want to bequeath as a gift, please contact Living Hope Community Church Executive Assistant, Hilary Klindt to discuss details either by e-mail: info@livinghopefoxlake.com or by phone: 920-928-6610.
ONLINE GIVING
It is now possible and convenient to give online (either one time or set up re-occurring, auto payments) using the form on this website. We added the option of giving online to accommodate people who are used to doing their banking and other activities online.
Another option to give online (one time or re-occurring auto payments) is to set up and use the “bill pay” option on your banks website. You will have to check with your bank to see if they offer this option.

Donating By Text
To donate by text, a donor simply:
- Texts the amount they’d like to give to your number (e.g. $50)1
- If they’ve donated by text before, they’ll receive a confirmation text in response that their gift has been received successfully and they’re done
- If it’s the first time they are donating by text, they’ll be given a link and asked to supply their payment method (credit card, debit card, or bank account). This payment source will then be linked with their phone number so that, in the future, all they need to do is text in the amount and do not need to reenter their payment information.

Text Giving Commands
The following are a list of commands that the text giving system accepts:
