Why Electronic Giving?
Convenience: No checks to write or the need for cash. Donations are automatic. Contributions are sent electronically from your bank account and deposited directly into the church bank account.
Keeps You On Track With Stewardship Commitments: You won't fall behind on your financial pledges with scheduled automated payments
Guarantees Uninterrupted Support: Everyone will occasionally miss a service due to illness, vacation or bad weather. Your weekly offering continues during these occasions

Provides Donation Consistency For Our Church: Eases the seasonal fluctuations of donations and improves financial planning
Saves Time For The Staff, Allowing For More Efficiency
Security: Reduces handling of checks and cash

Electronic Giving - Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How do automated contributions work?
A. No matter which donation method you use, you will be asked to select a payment method, start date, frequency and contribution amount. On the date(s) scheduled, donations will be processed and deposited into the church bank account.
Q. When will my contribution be processed?
A. Your contribution will be processed each month on the date(s) you authorize. If that date falls on a Holiday or weekend, the donation will appear on your bank statement the next business day.
Q. What can I use to show I made a donation?
A. The itemized list of electronic transactions that appear on your bank or credit card statement can be used as proof of your donations. In addition, there is a "My Transaction History" option when you log into your account. This report can be generated by date range. You will still receive a statement from the parish office at the end of the year by email.
Q. How safe is Online Giving?
