Giving

Financial Giving

Giving reflects a grateful heart, and hundreds of individuals and families give generously and joyfully every week to continue ministry at our church and in the world. We consider it a great responsibility to be stewards of your resources.

Online Giving

You can give online using your debit card, credit card, or automatic withdrawal from your checking or savings account. Giving online is secure, easy, and allows you to set up recurring or one-time contributions and view your complete online giving history. Even when travel, illness or other circumstances prevent you from attending services, your electronic contributions will continue to be received on an uninterrupted basis.

Click on the Create Profile button, then follow the onscreen instructions to create an online profile and to schedule your contributions. You can schedule new contributions at any time and can modify or cancel those contributions at any time prior to the date they are scheduled.

Privacy Policy

Your information is held securely by the church and Vanco Payment Solutions. This information will remain private and will never be given away to third parties, other than to process your scheduled contributions.

Giving Kiosk

For your convenience, an electronic giving kiosk is located at the Welcome Center. You can make donations toward the general fund or special offerings using your credit or debit card.

Offering Envelopes

If you prefer to give during worship, you may request envelopes that include your giving number, which ensures that the amounts you give are credited to your giving account. When contributions are received without giving numbers, our financial volunteers must look up the giving numbers.

Using your envelopes allows you to contribute to the general fund, debt retirement, missions, “other” or any combination.  (When checking “other” on your envelope, please specify where you wish your contribution to be applied.  Also, if you are dividing your contribution to different areas, please specify the dollar amount for each area. This will ensure that your donation is applied to the area of your intent.) If nothing is checked on the envelope, your contribution will automatically be applied to the general fund.

Giving Statements

Giving statements showing your contributions to date are issued at the end of each year and periodically during the year. To ensure that you receive your giving statement, please be sure that we have your correct address on file using the online directory or by calling the church office.

For further information about giving or church finances, contact Finance Secretary Donna Brady.

Our Vision for Giving

Our vision is to engage the entire congregation in missions by praying, giving, or going, following Jesus’ command to “be my witness in Jerusalem and in Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
