Contribute economically
Give because it makes a difference
One of the church’s values is to be “for generosity.” Because we are most like God when we give! We want to be generous with our lives, time, resources, and everything else that God has given us in the first place. We hope to become Christians who are known for not being self-sufficient.
In addition, we are a self-financed association, where membership is free. We also do not receive funds collected through church taxes. All of the church's activities, operating costs and humanitarian work are therefore financed through voluntary donations, which we receive from members, guests and others with an interest in supporting our vision.
In other words, Citykirken Aarhus is a church that is built on the faith, will and generosity of many people. We know that we reach further when we lift together. That's why we also need you! With your help, we can get even further with the message of Jesus.

Terms and conditions for donations
When you support Citykirken Aarhus, the following terms apply:
- Tax deduction: Citykirken is approved according to Section 8A of the Danish Taxation Act. This means that you can get a deduction for your gifts. Remember to provide your CPR number so that we can report the amount to SKAT. You can also read more about deductions in the section below.

Tax deduction
Gifts to Citykirken Aarhus are deductible if you use the arrangements below. The tax value of the deduction is approx. 25%. So you get approx. a quarter of your gift back via SKAT.
Gifts (Ligningsloven §8A):
The maximum deduction for ordinary gifts is DKK 19,000 per year (2025). This requires that you include your donor number with all transfers. If you do not have a donor number, please contact bogholderi@ckirken.dk to have one set up. We will then report your gift to SKAT and the amount will appear on your annual statement. Remember to write it on future gifts as well.
Declaration of commitment (Ligningsloven §12):
A commitment statement is an agreement to support the church with a fixed amount or a percentage of your income for at least 10 years. The statement can, however, end if you leave the church, if you notify us of this. The advantage of a commitment statement is that it is possible to get a deduction for larger amounts – up to 15% of your gross annual income and at the same time it becomes easier for the church to plan and budget in the long term.
Give via your business
You can also deduct up to DKK 19,000 per year (2025) through your company. In this case, you must provide the company's CVR number, after which Citykirken will report the gift to SKAT. Our reporting it is a requirement for the deduction, but you must also ensure that you provide information about the donation on your tax return.
You can also choose to set up a sponsorship where you receive a return in the form of advertising instead. In this case, you can generally deduct the entire amount. However, if it is a large amount, we recommend that you consult your accountant.
Consider the church in your will
The City Church is approved to receive bequeathed gifts without having to pay inheritance tax. If you choose to bequeath an amount to the church, we will receive the entire amount uncut.
The 30 % rule
In some cases, it may also be an advantage for your heirs if you leave 30% of your assets to Citykirken in your will. Citykirken will then pay the inheritance tax for your heirs, who can therefore receive the remaining 70% tax-free.
Create a will for free
We have entered into a partnership with the company Dokument 24, where you can create a will online for free if you consider adding the Citykirken to your will. You can also contact them if you want advice on inheritance and wills.
