What is SEEDS?
Seeds is an end-of-year offering opportunity for each person at WestPark to give sacrificially beyond his or her regular tithes and offerings.

Why are we having SEEDS?
SEEDS will actually ‘seed’ our ministries with the resources we need for WestPark to take its next step as we fulfill our church mission, Everyday people on a journey together pursuing Christ.
This year, West Park is moving in an exciting new direction with our SEEDS offering! Rather than simply supplementing our general fund and donating 15% to a local charity, we’re stepping out in faith to become a more outwardly focused church, impacting our community for Christ.
Half of the funds raised will go toward paying down our mortgage, positioning us to meet future capital needs as our church continues to grow. The other half will be dedicated to launching new ministry initiatives in Fall 2025, expanding our reach into the local community through programs such as:
• Conversational English Classes
• Clothing and Food Giveaway
• Sports Activities for Kids
• Ministry to International Students
These community-focused efforts will allow us to engage diverse groups of people, sharing the gospel and demonstrating Christ’s love in practical, meaningful ways. As we step into this new season, we are counting on the faithful and generous support of our church family. While our overall budget remains the same, your tithes and offerings will be vital in meeting our needs. The amount you designate for SEEDS is in addition to your regular giving and will enable us to dream big and expand our outreach. Together, we can change lives and glorify God through our collective efforts!
How does SEEDS work?
• It starts with prayer. Pray that God would show you what He would want you to give sacrificially above and beyond your regular tithes and offerings. We are praying that each church family will participate.
What about my Regular Tithe?
Your tithe is a faithful act of worship that helps fund the ongoing expenses of the current ministry and operations in the life of WestPark Church. We’re asking you to pray about how much you might give to SEEDS, above your normal tithes and offerings.
Prayer Weeks: November 10 - November 29
Giving Sundays: November 10 - December 8
If you’re out of town or only attending online don’t worry, a special offering envelope is enclosed. Just mail it back to the church or go online at www.westparkchurch.ca/giving to find multiple electronic options to give (e.g. tithe.ly, PayPal, e-transfer). On Sundays you can give by placing your SEEDS envelope into the offering plates during the service or offering boxes located inside the entrances to the auditorium/chapels/gym/office entrance.
Here is how you can help us reach our GOAL of $150,000.
We’re asking everyone to pray about how God would lead them to give to SEEDS this year. What you give is between you and the Lord.
