Electronic Giving

In addition to making one-time gifts at the link above, contributions may be debited automatically from your checking or savings account, or charged to your credit card, on a weekly, biweekly, monthly or semi-monthly basis in any amount of your choosing. Many congregants take advantage of this easy method of giving. As with any financial pledge, the amount can always be adjusted should your circumstances change.

Our electronic giving program is safe and secure. It offers convenience for you and much-needed donation consistency for our congregation. It costs you nothing and it costs the congregation very little.

Print this form, complete it and give it to the treasurer to initiate electronic giving.

A greener approach to giving

Churches, because of their heavy weekly check volumes, were among the earliest organizations to embrace electronic giving as a way to automate contributions. Today, electronic giving in all its forms provides convenience for congregants and donation consistency for congregations such as ours.

A less frequently discussed benefit of electronic giving is its positive impact on the environment. An enormous amount of natural resources are consumed in the production, transportation, processing and disposal of paper checks. That’s why paying bills electronically always ranks high on any list of actions an individual can take to improve the environment.

The trend toward electronic payments has already produced a nearly 75% decline in check use since the year 2000. As you consider the payment method you use to make your regular offering, we hope that you will think about the unique connection between financial stewardship and environmental stewardship.

Many congregants find it convenient to arrange for ongoing giving, either by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) from a bank account or by credit card payment.

New members make financial and service pledges at the time they join, but you need not be a member to pledge. We welcome your support!
