This month we are making a transition around our bookkeeping processes. After many years of faithful service to our community, we are thanking Ruth Bourassa for her time spent as a contractor for this important work. We appreciate the way she has often looked beyond the numbers to see the ministry of our community, and to ensure we serve the mission well.

Part of our long-term staffing plan has meant bringing the bookkeeping in house. To that end, any bookkeeping related inquiries should now be directed to our Ministry Manager, Bekah Hagan Ahenda.

You may have questions:

Q: Who do I talk to about setting up recurring giving/e-transfers/online giving?

A: You can speak with Bekah in the office, or if you prefer you will find most of the information you need online at www.victoriaalliance.ca/give

Q: How do I get reimbursed for a ministry-related purchase?

A: All purchases for the church should be pre-approved by a Ministry Team Leader, Ministry Director, or Staff member to ensure they are accounted for in our current year budget estimates. You can see Bekah in the office to receive a remittance form for all approved expenditures.

Q: When will I receive my 2019 tax receipt?

A: Work is being done now to prepare these for you. Many of our community will receive an emailed receipt, so keep an eye on your in-box in early February. We will begin distributing hard copy receipts in mid February.

Q: How will you know where to send my receipt?

A: If you don't think we have your current email or mailing address, please speak with Bekah in the office right away.

Q: Who do I speak with about the change in bookkeepers?

A: If you have questions about our long-term staffing plan you are welcome to write to our Church Leadership Team (Board). We are sure you can appreciate that we will not be discussing specific contract or staffing details.
