If you would like to make a donation to The Bible Church, you are welcome to do so. The proceeds from donations will be used to support this site and to support the expenses involved in maintaining this site. These expenses include, but are not limited to, web hosting fees, Internet connections, collecting study materials, office supplies, incidental expenses, and providing more time for the Pastor to spend making Bible studies available to the public via The Bible Church.
Your donation is most gratefully accepted with thanks for your support.
Please note that we have not made a covenant with the Federal Government, under Title 26, Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Code, and therefore donations are not tax deductible. We at the Bible Church do not wish to be beholden to the Federal Government or to State governments, which would be necessary if we became a 501(c)(3) organization. 501(c)(3) organizations have limits placed on their free speech, especially political speech, which is enforcable by the I.R.S. We do not wish to have our speech curtailed, so we do not seek tax exemption status from the government.

P.S. In the past we did not accept donations, but with rising costs in almost every venue, we have reluctantly decided to accept them.
Thank You,
Pastor Mark Oaks
