Giving

At Foothills we believe that all believers have a responsibility to practice generosity
by financially supporting the local church they attend. God views our giving
as an act of worship and obedience to Him.
Our giving should be done with joy, faith and in expectation of
God's provision for our needs. Our giving provides resources for the vision
God has entrusted to us as a body of believers.

Ways To Give

Give Online

Our e-giving platform provides users the ability to make quick gifts without an account. You can set up an account to track account history and recurring gifts using an e-check, and debit  or credit card*.  E-check gifts can be made from your checking or savings accounts and Foothills will benefit most from this type of online giving.   

Give In Person

At Foothills you can make an in-person gift by dropping it by the Foothills Office at 215 E. Main Street, Molalla, OR, or in one of the conveniently placed and secure giving boxes in the auditorium.  

Mail A Check

You can mail a check to P.O. Box 797, Molalla, OR, 97038

Giving Funds

All money received goes into one of two categories:
  • General Fund Giving (We call this “The Ministry Storehouse”)
  • Designated Fund Giving (for example, FSM - Foothills Student Ministries)

General Fund giving covers monthly operating expenses. This money is used to pay for ministry expenses, leases on the buildings, utilities, salaries, supplies, copying costs, insurance, etc.
