Online Giving
Welcome to Online Giving
We want to provide e-giving as a convenient way to fulfill our stewardship obligations. A person will be able to give a onetime gift online or set up a recurring gift. Such gifts can be given via bank draft, debit card or even credit card. We were hesitant to set up a system for credit card use since we do not want anyone to pile up consumer debt by giving to the church. However, we know that many families like to use a credit card in order to earn frequent flier miles and other rewards. We want to meet the needs and requests of our church family.
To begin giving online, please read the information below. When finished reading click online giving to proceed. You will then be asked to create a user name and password and set up your needed information.
Below is some information to help you navigate the online giving system and some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s). If you have any further questions please email and she will be more than happy to help you.
An “offering envelope” section lists the funds to which our people give the most often. You can enter an amount for one or more of these funds. Directly below the “envelope” is a list of other funds to which you can enter a donation. The Total Contribution at the bottom of the “envelope” includes the amounts entered in both lists.
- Payment – This field lets you select the bank account (or credit card) from which you want this contribution to be made.
- Contribution Date – Today’s date displays, but you can change to a future date (up to 30 days in advance) if you want the contribution to be processed then.
Profile Page
At the bottom of your Profile page…
- Password – You can change the Password that you use in accessing your online account.
- Reminder – You can mark a Reminder check box if you would like to receive periodic e-mail reminders about making regular contributions. You can then select a Reminder Frequency to define how often you want to receive these reminders (Weekly, Bi-Weekly, Monthly, etc.).
Contribute Page
- This page is used only for defining automated contributions. Individual donations are entered on the Home page.
- You can define more than one Automated Contribution, each with different payment and/or Giving methods and different Fund and Amount entries.
- You can define two Types of Automated Contributions: Continuous (no Ending Date is defined) and Date Range (both Starting and Ending Dates are defined).
- Set Reminder – You may mark this check box to set an Automated Contribution so that a reminder notice will be sent seven (7) days in advance of when it will be processed. This will give you the opportunity to modify or stop the item before it is transmitted.
- Active Contribution – You may unmark this check box to stop any processing of this item until you decide to re-activate it.
- Delete Contribution – You can select this button to delete an Automated Contribution record once the commitment has been fulfilled or if it was defined in error. This has no impact on contributions that have already been processed.
