Benevolence Policy.
This general policy governs the release of benevolence funds to those requesting support or help. The church has the right to adjust or decline an applicant's request and may consider providing assistance other than monetary help. This policy is a guide and the Lead Pastor or benevolence committee may decide to do something outside of this policy if after prayer and thought they decided that a situation warrants extra support.
For those not connected to Awaken Church
Awaken Church benevolence fund is not authorized to be used for this category unless expressly directed to do so by the Lead Pastor. Applicants must commit to Awaken Church and exemplify that by consistent involvement.
For those connected to Awaken Church
Awaken Church may help once a year with a maximum of 2 times per individual.
Payment or support will be given directly to the creditor. No money will be given to an individual.
We consider the following factors when considering an individual for short term help:
Applicant's history of benevolence at Awaken Church, other churches and organizations
Applicant's willingness to take certain steps to improve their circumstances
How the requested assistance will serve the applicant and the mission of Awaken Church.
