Frequently Asked Questions
Is Online Giving safe?
Online Giving meets the highest banking-level security standards set forth by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) to ensure safe and confidential transactions. In fact, your banking information is encrypted in the system and is not accessible to any users or administrators of the Online Giving system. When you manage your own account information, your church never needs to handle checks or worry about locking up documents containing your account information. And you’ll always be certain that your gifts are direct-deposited into your church’s account.
Do I have to set up an online account?
Although we prefer that you set up an online account so you don't have the hassle of trying to remember to make a regular online payment, you do have the option to "Quick Give," making a one time gift/ donation towards a specific church or fund. However, you are still required to provide your personal information such as your name, email address, address and bank information. You can access "Quick Give" at the bottom right hand corner of the Online Giving login page.
How are my contributions automatically deducted from my account?
Once you complete the online registration, the contribution amount you specify will automatically be transferred from your bank account or credit card to the church’s bank account.
When will my contribution be deducted from my account?
Your electronic contribution will be debited on the date you specify on the “My Gifts” page of the Online Giving system.
How often do I give?
You choose how often you would like to give! There are weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual or one-time gift options.
Without a canceled check, how can I prove my contribution?
Your bank statement and the Online Giving system both provide reports that document your electronic transactions. You can easily access your giving history online for tax statements.
Can I put different amounts in offerings and have all of them withdrawn at different times?
You can contribute to different offerings at different times; however, you will have to do each one separately. You will receive a receipt for each one.
What if I change bank accounts?
Log in and update your account information in the “My Payment Schedule” window. Each checking/savings/credit card can be changed using the “edit” button, deleted completely, or new accounts can be added on the right side of the screen.
How much does Online Giving cost?
It costs you absolutely nothing!
What if I try Online Giving and don’t like it?
