Because of God’s great generosity toward us we strive to live generous lives too.
Our giving to the Lord, through whatever means we use, is an act of worship for a Christian!
IN PERSON:
When we gather physically for worship on Sunday Mornings, part of our service includes worship through giving our tithes and offerings. In this context, cash and checks are typical gifts.
ONLINE:
We also offer Online Giving as another option. Using the Give Now form on our website or by downloading the Church Center app (iPhone App Store or Google Play Store), anyone can give a gift no matter where they are!
We highly encourage everyone to setup a giving profile to make future gifts even faster and to enable you to review your Online Giving History anytime and to receive Online Giving Statements! To get started, just click here to setup an account or follow the steps when you give your first gift to complete your profile creation!
In addition to allowing for one-time gifts, our Online Giving system also allows for reoccurring giving to be setup. This makes prioritizing financial stewardship in a modern age even easier.
When you go to give a gift, after you put in the amount and fund you want, simply change the Frequency to “Regularly” and select how often you want the gift to be given (Weekly, Every Two Weeks, Monthly, etc.) and specify the day(s) for your gift.
It couldn’t be easier!
We do want you to be aware of all the information regarding these giving methods so you can make the best decision for your giving. Please note that our online system can process both Credit/Debit cards and ACH transactions but there are different fees depending upon the method you choose to use.
Our payment processor charges 2.15% + $0.30 per transaction on Credit/Debit Cards.
The preferred method is to use ACH as the payment source, especially for reoccurring giving. The fee for this is only $0.25 per transaction!
Setting up your account with an ACH link (simply using your Bank Routing and Account Number like a check) and doing your regular giving through this method is the lowest cost way to use our Online Giving system!
Please be aware that the fees are deducted before the church receives your gift. When you give, there is an option at the bottom of the form to “Cover the Fee” that you can choose to increase your gift amount to cover the fee (for either Credit/Debit Cards or ACH). Checking that box will ensure the church receives the full amount you planned to give if you want to use that option.
TEXT:
If you have setup your giving profile, you can simply text 84321 from your phone at anytime to give! The first time you do this, you will receive a link to enable text-to-give on your profile and ensure you are setup to give to Nelsonville Assembly. After that, you can simply text a dollar amount and the fund you want to give to (i.e. $50 General or $20 Guatemala Missions) and you are done. A confirmation text will be sent and you will get an email in your inbox as well!
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS:
As mentioned above, once you have a Giving Profile, you can access your Online Giving History and review giving statements through your profile online or in the Church Center App at anytime. Every gift giving through our Online or Text options will automatically generate confirmation emails to you and be reflected on quarterly and annual online giving statements.
This system also allows you to easily give gifts to specific church designated funds. You can easily designate your gift to a fund just by using the dropdown menu when you give.
Keeping your information (phone number and email) accurate in here also automatically updates our church database!
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask!
