Q: Why should I give online?
A: It’s a personal preference, but here are a few of the benefits we hear frequently:
*It’s a step of faith… deciding in advance to give faithfully
*It helps simplify life… no more trying to remember whether or not you’ve given this month
*It allows you to give consistently…even when you’re not at church
*It allows you to focus on the service when you’re at church… no more digging for a pen
*It saves the church time and money
Q: How can I participate in the offering during services if I give online?
A: You can use the offering envelopes and write on it “I gave online.”
Q: How do I give online?
A: Click the “Click here to Give Online” button and follow the
prompts to create an account and set up your contribution. If you
would prefer, you can also download and turn in
this form to the church office and we will set up online giving for you.
Q: Can I test this by giving one time?
A: Yes. You may test Online Giving by selecting “One Time” in the frequency drop down box of the signup process.
Q: Why is it required to enter a contribution date when giving one time?
A: This allows you the flexibility to schedule your contribution ahead of time.
Q: What is an e-check?
A: An e-check is an “electronic check”. You will need to enter
your routing number and account number of the checking or savings
account you want to use for your contribution.
Q: Why can’t I find a submit button?
A: Once you enter your information, click on the gray box that
says “Schedule New Contribution”. This acts as a typical submit button.
Q: How do I know if it worked?
A: You will receive a pop up message that says “Your Scheduled
Contribution has been successfully saved.” You will also receive an
email confirmation each time your scheduled contribution is processed.
Q: Can I set up my giving to automatically come out of my account on a recurring basis?
A: Yes. On the signup screens, you can specify whether you want
your contribution made one time, weekly, every other week (bi-weekly),
twice per month (1st and the 15th), monthly, quarterly, or yearly.
Q: Once I set up a scheduled contribution, can I change it or delete it?
A: Yes. Once you log into your account, you will see an “edit”
and “delete” link to the left side of each scheduled contribution. You
can either delete your scheduled contribution, change your frequency,
amount, banking information, or date.
Q: Can I view how much I have contributed?
A: At any time you can view your record of “online” giving by
scrolling down the online giving page to the “Contribution History”
section. This section will provide each donation you made, when you
made it, and a year-to-date total. We also send year end statements
directly to your home address.
Q: Is online giving secure?
A: Yes! We’ve taken steps to ensure that online giving is safe
and secure. All of your giving data is secured by SSL encryption. SSL
is an acronym for “Secure Socket Layer”, a security protocol that
provides communications privacy over the Internet. It is the same
technology used by banks and e-commerce companies such as Amazon.com to
keep your information safe and secure during transactions.
Q: Who do I contact if I have more questions?
A: Contact our Finance Department at the church office at 276.628.3297 or email
