Online Contributions
Harambee and
Soma Communities now offers a way to help fund the mission securely and electronically straight from your bank. It's called an eCheck.
* All you need is some info printed on your paper checks.
* You can give once or set up a recurring giving schedule.
* For each eCheck, Harambee/Soma is charged less than the price of a stamp.
* It's even better than your bank's online bill pay. Since it's all electronic, no one has to receive, process and deposit the paper check your bank mails for you.
To give to the Harambee Expression of Soma Communities, be sure to select Harambee in the Expression drop-down box.
Give Now via E-Check
If you must use a debit card, you also have that option but know that the church is charged much higher fees for these transactions, so less of what you give is available for the mission of making disciples. We don't believe accruing debt in order to give to the church is faithful to biblical principles of giving, so we are not providing the option of giving with a credit card.

Giving - Part of our Worship
At Harambee, we believe that the regular, cheerful, and sacrificial giving of our finances is part of our worship of God (see 2 Cor. 8 & 9). It's not a tax (i.e. 10%), but a demonstration of the fact that everything we have comes from God, and we joyfully give it back to him for the advancement of the gospel and the Kingdom. 10% of our giving goes towards supporting
church planting through the
Acts 29 Network, and the rest supports the ministries and operations of Harambee (supplies, curriculum, staff, mortgage, phone bill, heat, toilet paper, etc.). In addition, on a monthly basis we collect a Benevolence offering to help those in need in our body, area, and world. We also have ongoing
building project needs that we encourage people to contribute towards. All this to say that God has been and continues to be very faithful to Harambee through the giving of its people. Contributions can be made during our corporate worship gatherings on Sunday, dropped off during the week, mailed (316 S. 3rd St. Renton, WA 98057), or online via PayPal.
