Grace of Giving

Just as you excel in everything else—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness . . . see that you also excel in this grace of giving. (2 Corinthians 8:7 NIV)

Why does God want you to excel in the grace of giving? It’s because he influences the world through his people. God gives to you so he can give through you. The Bible tells us that everything we have is a gift from God (1 Chronicles 29:14). As you give both faithfully and faith-fully, the world is changed for the glory of God: the gospel is preached, lives are touched, people are fed, bodies are healed, churches are built; and you, in turn, are blessed by God so that you can give again.

How Does it Work

Step 1. Your Personal Information
In order to give online, we need to gather some basic information about you. All of this information will be secured. You only need to do this once. When you return simply use your User Name and Password.

Step 2. Your Gift
You will go through three simple steps to set up your gift. The first step is to establish the amount of your contributions. Choose which area to "Give To" (budget, building fund, mission trip, efc) and the amount of the donation. Then click on the Add button. If you want to give to more than one area, just select another "Give To" amount and click Add again. Once you have all the areas and amounts listed, click on the Give button. You can make any of these gifts "automatic" by clicking on the "Recurring" box. Additional boxes will appear to choose the schedule.

Step 3. Your Account Information
You will be asked to enter your checking account or credit card information. You will continue to receive your statement of contributions in the mail as you have in the past. Your online contributions will be included on these statements. If at any time you would like to change the amount given simply log back in and click on Giving/Scheduled Giving.
