Financial Assistance

For those in our church family who need help assessing their financial situation and learning how to manage finances, we encourage you to contact Tim Wiebe (twiebe@brookside.net) to learn more about one-on-one financial coaching offered as a Brookside ministry. Or, consider attending Financial Peace University, a 13-week class designed to help you better understand money from God's perspective and manage the financial resources you have.

For those in our church family who need monetary help to bridge a financial gap during a time of need, our benevolence ministry is available to take requests. As we seek to be responsible stewards ourselves, we have arranged the following guidelines to govern our Benevolence Ministry. Please read through these guidelines carefully. If you are able to meet these guidelines, you can download an electronic Benevolence Request form at the bottom of this page and turn it in to the church office. Your request will then be considered by our Benevolence Committee. (Please understand that a request for benevolence does not guarantee we're able to help.)

Guidelines for Requesting Benevolence Assistance

Recipient must submit the request. Requests will not be accepted on behalf of someone else.
Person requesting funds must be a member or regular attender of Brookside Church. A regular attender is defined as someone who has committed their life to Jesus Christ, has been coming to Brookside Worship Services regularly for 6 months or more, and purposes to live their life on biblical principles.
The request form needs to be accompanied by a copy of all relevant bills/invoices prior to approval. Designated church office personnel will verify this before the request is given to the Benevolence Committee.
Once the request form is filled out and relevant bills are attached, please bring these items to the church office to formally submit your request.
Please allow a minimum of seven business days to process any checks for those requests that are approved.
Financial information and/or budget counseling may be required either prior to or after an approved/denied request.
