No, it is considered a gift. Unless a gift is "for building a new church", or contingent upon something else (in writing, or a corroborated verbal promise to dedicate the funds), you can not get it back later.

No. A completed gift is not refundable. If you need some of it back, why not talk to the church Pastor?

I hope this helps!
