Benevolence

  • We can only assist with short-term and emergency needs. 
  • We cannot provide long–term or repeated assistance. 
  • We also cannot assist with bills more than 60 days in arrears, childcare, medical bills, unsecured loan payments, taxes, legal expenses, or any expense that is not an objectively verified need.  
  • You must be a good-standing SGCC member for at least six months before you can apply.

Steps to Applying for Financial Assistance

The process may take up to three (3) weeks.

  1. Download and complete the Benevolence Application above.
              Read the cover page before filling out the Application form.  As you complete the form, gather the required        
              documentation that must accompany the application.  Use the checklist to make sure you have properly completed the
              application, as we cannot accept incomplete applications.  If you omit any information or documentation, or provide    
               false information, the application will not be processed.
  
       2.  Return the completed application and the required documentation to the church, 1675 Hembree Road, Suite A  
             Alpharetta, GA 30009
.  Bring a government issued photo ID to confirm your identity.  We will make a color copy of your
             ID for inclusion with the application.  We can only consider bills that are in the name of the person providing
             identification.

       3.  Expect to wait. It takes at least seven working days to review and verify applications. During this period, we will be in
             prayer and seeking God’s guidance in your situation or need. You will not hear from us, nor can we answer questions.
             Once we have verified your application, we will contact you.  The primary means for contact is e-mail. If you do not have
             e-mail, you must provide a telephone number where you can always be reached.  If we cannot contact you after two    
             attempts, we will not process your application.

       4.  Follow the instructions you are given.  You may be asked to meet with budget coaches or others to assist you with your
             finances.  Please be on time for any appointments.

       5.  You will be notified. If it is determined at any point in the process that Benevolence cannot provide assistance, you will    
             be notified that "Benevolence cannot assist you at this time."     No further information will be given.

At no point in this process do we promise or guarantee that assistance will be provided to you.  Any assistance will be in the form of a check made out to the vendor, landlord, or other service provider – not to you.  No cash will ever be given.

THE BENEVOLENCE INTERVIEW PROCESS – BUDGET COACHING AND COMMITTEE CONSIDERATION – OFTEN REQUIRES PROBING, DETAILED, DIFFICULT, AND POTENTIALLY UNCOMFORTABLE QUESTIONS AND ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICANT’S PERSONAL SITUATION AND SPENDING HABITS.  APPLICANTS SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR THIS POTENTIALITY.

If you have more questions about financial assistance, contact us online.   If you have an urgent need for pastoral care on a night, weekend, or holiday, call the church phone line at 770-777-6889.
