financial transparency

Advancing Kingdom Work

At Lake Ridge, we believe everything we have is a gift—and we’re called to steward those gifts with care, purpose, and generosity. This belief guides how we manage our finances as a church.

Each year, our ministries take time to pray, plan, and prepare for the work ahead. In January, we begin our budgeting process, and in March, our proposed budget is brought to the membership for approval at our annual meeting. This ensures transparency, accountability, and shared ownership of the mission we’re pursuing together.

All spending is guided by the priorities outlined in our approved budget—supporting the programs, projects, and ministry areas that help us advance the work of the Kingdom.

Tax Receipts

Donors will receive a tax-deductible receipt in February for all donations given during the previous calendar year. When making a onetime donation through Canada Helps you will receive your tax receipt at the time of donation.

Alberta has the most generous charitable tax credit program in Canada. Currently donors receive credit for 50% of donations beyond $200 each year. These credits can be carried forward for up to 5 years.
